Compassion Centre weekend away with Gen Norden
A weekend away in the Yorkshire Wolds to Rest and Reflect in meditation. Enjoy an unequalled opportunity to get away from stress and busyness and to deepen your experience of meditation.
This guided retreat will be held at the beautiful and inspiring Madhyamaka Kadampa Meditation Centre, near York.
A retreat gives us the time and space away from our usual activities to gain a deeper and more stable experience of our spiritual practice. This retreat will explore the development of a Good Heart. Based on the essential Buddhist Meditation practice called The Four Immeasurables. Beginners welcome.
The meditations will be guided and the retreat is open and suitable for everyone, regardless of experience. Each meditation session will begin with short prayers, then there will be a talk followed by the guided meditation.
Between sessions you can relax in the grounds, World Peace Café, or walk in the surrounding woodlands.
Comfortable accommodation is provided in single, twin or shared (4-8 bed) rooms. There are en suite options. Prices include accommodation, meditation sessions and vegetarian meals.
