As autumn approaches, we invite you to take a break and join us for an unstructured personal retreat. During your stay, you can enjoy qigong and meditation - to promote relaxation. Alternatively, you may choose to simply enjoy the tranquillity of the space, embracing the art of doing nothing. Imagine cozying up by a warm fire, savouring delicious vegetarian meals, and immersing yourself in silence. This time out offers a slower rhythm, allowing you to step back from the busyness of life and find peace within.
Nowhere Else To Be is a series of mid-week zazenkai held in Noble Silence at the BRC. Each zazenkai invites us to rest deeply in the present moment and attune to the simplicity and stillness of the unfolding moment. We will return to the basics of practice - stillness, silence, breath. With nowhere else to be and nothing else to do, we settle into what is.
This zazenkai is suitable for those with a regular meditation practice or prior retreat experience who feel ready to spend a day in silence, stillness, and simplicity. It offers a simple, structured, and spacious container in which to reconnect with presence, nature, and the still point within. The emphasis is on returning to what is already here — without distraction, without pressure, without needing to be anywhere else.
Come sit with us - there is nowhere else to be.
For the Zazenkai series, the next dates are:
24-26 March 2026
21-23 April 2026

Embark on a wild and delicious journey of deep nourishment for your body, mind and spirit and join us for a ‘nourish in nature’ retreat featuring Kaz Wilson, a passionate nutritionist and wild forager of superfoods and edible medicinal plants. Kaz will blend these gifts from nature into her intuitive cooking demonstrations - think sweet potato brownies, banana tahini ice-cream, sweet and savoury coconut chips, chickpea chocolate hummus - creating a unique culinary experience. With the principle of “Let food be thy medicine and medicine thy food” she will share pointers from her ‘Grow A New You’ programme, incorporating food demos and nature walks to empower you to take healing into your own hands.
This retreat will also integrate yoga in nature and mindful food practices, promoting a holistic approach to wellness. Kaz will be joined by Dael Lithgow, who will connect mind and body through science and meditation. He will share insights on how our thoughts impact our health - exploring nutrition that nourishes both the physical and spiritual self.
Dael Lithgow is a passionate Self-Mastery Coach and a Sustainable Living Consultant and the founder of Zuvuya Mountain Sanctuary, a Retreat Centre in the Dargle Valley. www.zuvuyamountainsanctuary.com
