Weekend Buddhist Meditation Retreats

During meditation retreat we take ourselves away from our usual routines and learn how to develop the inner peace that we need for our daily happiness. So many benefits come from engaging in retreat. On the retreats we learn Buddhist meditation techniques. Meditation enables us to create space in our mind and enjoy a fresh perspective on life. A Buddhist meditation retreat is a meaningful holiday that brings great long-term benefit to our lives.

Weekend meditation retreats consist of guided meditations and teachings. There is plenty of time for walks, meeting with like minded people, or just enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the Centre.

The typical schedule on retreat is four meditation sessions of about one hour each, every day. The sessions are fully guided by qualified Buddhist meditation teachers.

Different levels of retreat are offered at Bodhisattva Buddhist Centre, Brighton, UK: Introduction to meditation weekend retreats, Clear mind meditation retreat with our Resident Teacher Kelsang Chodor. We also hold regular more in depth retreats each year focussing on specific aspects of Buddhist practice and in January we hold a special week long guided lamrim retreat - a Buddhist meditation retreat covering the cycle of 21 lamrim meditations.
