Autumn Sangha retreat 2026

Welcome to the Booking Page for our Autumn Weekend retreat.

This autumn's Sangha Retreat will be happening From November 20th to 22nd. 

The theme will be the Four Samgrahavastus, the "means of unification" or, more literally perhaps, "holding together the foundation". Through these four practices; generosity, loving communication, beneficial activity and consistent action we ensure the health of the Sangha for the benefit of all. 

With meditation, ritual, stories, talks and discussion, join us for these few days of shared practice.

The weekend retreats are a lovely thing to do and place to be: to practice meditation together, be inspired by talks, and have time to discuss what this means to you. The retreat is fully inclusive of vegetarian/ vegan food*, and accomodation. 

*Simple vegan/vegetarian food is provided. If you ave a special diet we will provide an alternative of steamed veg and tofu, with rice. If you need specialised food stuff then please bring that with you.

The retreat involves everybody helping with various practical tasks during the retreat to create the retreat together, such as food preparation, registering people arriving. Please contact us before booking if you would not be able to contribute in this way.

It’s set in the beautiful countryside near Bolton Abbey.

When purchasing a place we are asking for a deposit. This covers some of the  initial costs of the retreat. Near the end of the retreat we will ask if you would like to donate to the centre, and if you can do this with gift aid. These donations also cover any shortfall that can occur.

Lastly, we would like everybody to stay for the whole retreat as this helps create a contained space for practice and allows us all to relax into the program. Please contact us before booking if you would need to arrive late or to leave beforethe retreat ends so we can consider how this will affect the retreat for yourself and others. We may not agree to all requests and will discuss this with you.

We look forward to being on retreat with you
