| Led by ordained monastics from the Forest Sangha based in the UK, this silent retreat will be open to all. This retreat is an invitation to experience a taste of monastic life so the traditional Eight Precepts will be observed, which include abstaining from eating after midday. Each day's schedule will include sitting and walking meditation, talks to impart the teachings, Noble Silence, and reflective and devotional chants, with dedications for the welfare of all beings, which will provide a monastic container to hold and inspire us during the retreat. |
