Detailed List of Retreats

In a world where many traditional beliefs and superstitions have disappeared, we have become rudderless and cynical. Life is often not much more than a meaningless journey from birth to certain death. Whilst it lasts, we try to acquire some happiness - however this is defined - and to avoid suffering as much as is possible. Is that all there is to it? Alternately, does life happen “when we are busy making other plans”, as John Lennon memorably said? Buddhism shows us that we are not living realistically; we are missing some fundamental truths about ourselves and the world we live in that distort and obscure what is really going on in our lives. This retreat explores these issues.
