Immerse yourself in meditation and completely switch off from your normal routine – you will come away refreshed and revitalised. Everybody is welcome – no need for any previous experience of meditation.
I found the away retreat at Thornby Hall a really profound experience. It was great meditating with a large group of people and I was able to ask questions and realise I was part of a group of people practicing together. The whole experience changed my practice when I came home.
