Non-Residential Day Retreats at the West London Buddhist Centre

Step away from the busyness of everyday life and give yourself the gift of a full day dedicated to meditation.
Together we’ll build depth, momentum, and continuity in practice, creating the conditions to go deeper than we can in our usual routines.

“ in our daily practice we can bring our attention to our emotions- pleasant and difficult . In this day retreat we will be looking at the pleasant in our experience through meditation and writing. And fun”

See what a Day Retreat looks like and hear from who has attended. 'The Day Retreat is like a SPA, but for your mind' - Josh

Why take a day out for yourself on this day retreat?

• ringfence some space for you at this transitional time of year
• explore what can happen when you meditate 3 or 4 times in one day
• see how meditation and Dharma work together
• experience standing, walking and laying down meditation as well as sitting
• build confidence in your meditation practice
• enjoy practising in community

So the question is not why go on a day retreat but what's stopping you?
