About the day retreat

Join experienced writer and meditator Yashobodhi for this day retreat tuning into compassion through meditation and reflective writing.

We cannot force compassion to come, but we can certainly invite it to enter our experience as we delve gently into the realm of things waiting to be digested and excavated.

The writing on this day is about process rather than about a product. We are not writing texts, but using the writing for our personal reflections and explorations.

It works best if you attend both parts of the day, but you are also welcome to only come to the first or second session. And you won't have to share your writing with anyone if you'd rather not!

The ingredients of the day:

Guided meditation
Reflective writing
Some optional interaction in small groups (3-4 people)

Do come along if you want to regroup, refresh and reinforce yourself. We will be looking back together…

Suggested sliding scale donation for the whole day:

£70-40 | $90-50 | €80-45

Like all our events, this retreat is offered by donation rather than charging a compulsory ticket price. We want to do this because we never want money to be an obstacle to taking part in a supportive community, and we know many people are struggling financially in the wake of the pandemic and cost of living crisis. The amount we suggest reflects the huge amount of work and love that goes into putting on events we hope will benefit everyone attending. If you can, please donate today to help us continue with our work and support others to attend who cannot afford to pay. Thank you!

Attend any or all conversations in Zoom.

This event will be recorded and may be published online for others to access. Only the leader's video will be used except where users consent to appear spotlighted in a public conversation. Private conversations in breakout rooms will not be recorded.
