Weekend Meditation Retreats

A weekend meditation retreat is a chance to break away for a short period and enjoy the tranquillity of Madhyamaka Centre and its surrounding countryside. In a weekend meditation retreat you learn how to practise meditation which is a vital tool for decreasing stress and tension and improving health and happiness. The retreat also includes talks on a certain theme, designed to help solve our daily problems and increase inner wellbeing. These weekends are a great success, offering friendship, solace and comfort for those who attend. Some retreats are suitable for complete beginners and others for more experienced practitioners.
