Enjoying Stillness – Retreat Day

Day Retreat Aug 30, 10:00am – 3:30pm including lunch

Experience the beauty of silence and stillness on this special retreat day, led by senior Buddhist teacher Gen Kelsang Tubchen. A chance to slow down, disconnect from busyness, and enjoy deep peace within.

The morning sessions will be held in silence, creating the perfect space to quiet your mind and settle into a deeper sense of inner peace. With clear, practical guidance and time for reflection, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to rest, reset, and reconnect with what matters most.

To support this experience, you are warmly encouraged to take a break from your phone and digital distractions for the day. Let your mind unplug, unwind, and enjoy being fully present and focused on the inner causes of happiness.

The day includes a communal vegetarian lunch and is suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.
