Guidance and resources to support your practice
Buddhism is an ancient and diverse practice. It has evolved over more than two millenia into many forms and traditions, and is practiced all over the world in different ways. Buddhism is therefore a vast (and often complex) subject and we all develop and pratice in our own way and at our own pace. You may be a curious newcomer, or someone who is keen to deepen their practice in specific ways.

Going on retreat
Going on retreat gives you the opportunity to deepen your practice in conducive surroundings. You’ll get the opportunity to spend time like-minded people from all walks of life. Many people find that a sense of community develops as a retreat progresses, and lasting friendships are born from their experience.
Our sangha members will often organise their own retreats, but we aso try to get away togther every year.
