Sangha Retreat (Camping Option - Places are limited)
Friday 25 June 2021 – Sunday 27 June 2021
Come and explore what it means to be part of a Sangha. We will be meditating, listening to talks, holding discussions, running workshops and participating in Buddhist ritual. Please note that you can attend this retreat either online or in person at a campsite in Battlesbridge (Camping places are limited). Both the online and the campsite retreat will follow the same programme simultaneously so that we can all practice together.
