Highlights

This is not just relaxation, not just de-stressing, not just a holiday, but deep and profound rest. 


During this retreat you will bring the mind to deep rest and silence through meditation, enquiry, uprooting resistance and grasping, letting go of desire, allowing suffering to crumble by bathing in wisdom and by turning the mind inwards towards the simple experience of awareness and this present moment. By the end of this retreat, you will see that profound rest isn’t just something you are craving because you are stressed, you are yearning for it because it is how we are supposed to live to find our true selves.

You will be nourished by the merging with your sacred, innate presence, from living within a heart-centred community, and from being held by the exquisite sanctuary of Broughton. The intention is for you to leave feeling deeply connected, expansive, revived and inspired.


Arrival 4pm Monday, checkout 2pm Sunday.
