Do you want to learn more about Buddhism? This retreat is for you.
The ancient teachings of The Buddha are just as fresh and relevant for contemporary times and can help you to develop insight, self awareness and open-heartedness.
If you've heard about - or even practised - mindfulness, you may be interested in its origins, which include Buddhism.
Buddhism can be seen as a religion, a philosophy, or a way of life. In this retreat we will explore its different schools and core teachings. We'll look at its principles, including the Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path and the relationship between mindfulness and Buddhism.
