The Wisdom of Relaxation – a Silent Retreat Day

Sun 2 Sep
10am - 4pm

Most of us have a degree of tension and anxiety in our lives. It’s not easy to engage with meditation and Buddhist practice when our body and mind are tense and over-stimulated. Relaxation, or letting go, is something we can learn to do. This silent retreat day will focus on entering the spaciousness of mind and body at ease. The day will include guided meditation, relaxing into sound, and plenty of silence. A silent day retreat with meditation, reflection, relaxation and exploration of the open dimension of mind.

Open to all familiar with our two meditation practices.
