We begin this retreat at the time of the Winter Solstice. Folk have been marking this special time since the deep past. For us, the coming of the light signifies faith in awareness prevailing over ignorance, humanity prevailing over inhumanity. This retreat is an opportunity to gather and re-affirm that faith through ritual, shared communication and restorative meditations.
This year we’ll be exploring the four Buddhist love meditations to warm our hearts at the dark of the year. These are mettā bhāvanā, karunā bhāvanā, muditā bhāvanā, upekkhā bhāvanā — love, compassion, rejoicing and serenity.
This retreat has a rich history of being a men-only space. We are open to bookings from a wider range of gender identities, in keeping with the tradition of this men-centred retreat. If you are unsure if this retreat is a good fit for you please get in touch.
