Retreats
Rivendell is a Buddhist retreat centre in Sussex which is allied to The Buddhist Centre and which offers a varied programme of retreats throughout the year, including introductory retreats for people who are new to meditation and Buddhism.
What is a retreat?
In today's fast-paced world, many people feel that their lives are becoming increasingly complex - often full of constant activity and stress. The chance to step back to gain some perspective can be rare. A retreat gives us an opportunity to withdraw from the hustle and bustle of life. It is a chance to live more simply for a while, spending time in a beautiful and peaceful environment, away from the demands and hassles of our everyday lives.
A retreat is an ideal situation in which to take a fresh look at ourselves and our lives. On retreat we can relax, learn to meditate (or take our meditation deeper) and find out more about Buddhism with the help of experienced teachers, as well as taking time to relax and enjoy the peace and beauty of the surroundings. Individually and together these things can help us to get to know ourselves better and to develop clarity, confidence, and positive emotion.
