Connecting through silence, solitude, stillness: cultivating the heart of freedom

This nine-day retreat provides a rare opportunity to explore different aspects of the Buddha’s teachings on freedom, through both individual meditation and relational practice. Grounded in Noble Silence and adapting to our current circumstances at home, we will learn how to relate more skilfully to ourselves, each other, and the world around us through a blend of individual and relational meditation practice.
