Reading Buddhist Priory

Around every other month there is a residential retreat at the priory. These can be for two,three or four days. This provides and ideal opportunity to turn within and retreat in the quiet of the priory. It is a great support to our practice to retreat with others, to deepen our meditation and take refuge in the sangha treasure.

The priory has a spare room with two fold down beds, plus several inflatable mattresses, as well as two retreat huts with power and lighting for accomodation for those who wish to stay.

It is fine to come during any day, or for whatever part of the retreat you can. It helps if we know when you will be coming for the practicals of meals and planning when to do talks etc.
So please book in in advance.

Ideally you should at least have attended an introductory session and be ready for several periods of meditation of 35 - 40 minutes.

The retreats are essentially silent, with meditation, time for work and preparation of meals, teas and talks and our usual services during the day.

Please call or email if you have any questions about these (and any other) events.
