Amitayus Retreat
| Sunday 12th February Retreat is a time when we temporarily stop our normal daily activities and focus on our inner practice, to develop and deepen practical understanding and heart felt experience of our spiritual path. Amitayus is the Buddha of long life, merit, and wisdom. By engaging in Amitayus practice, we can develop these qualities — all essential for our spiritual development — and eventually attain the deathless state of enlightenment. We can also use this practice to help remove obstacles that endanger the lives of ourself and others.

Refuge to the Three Jewels of Buddhism
| Sunday 11th March Retreat is a special period of time when we deliberately stop all worldly activities and focus on deepening our inner experience of a particular spiritual practice. This Refuge retreat is open to everyone who wishes to establish an authentic experience of refuge in the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha). The main reason for establishing a stable inner experience of refuge in the Three Jewels is to enable us to attain permanent liberation from all types of suffering. By coming under their care and protection we shall also make swift progress along the spiritual path that takes us to liberation and enlightenment. Refuge is the ultimate non-deceptive protection for our mind since the Three Jewels are perfectly reliable.
