THE URBAN RETREAT

In a world that’s changing constantly, the Buddhist response is uncompromising: we need to transform ourselves, transform our minds. This inner transformation is not just personal; it radiates outward, igniting profound change in the world around us.
‍
During the Urban Retreat, join in a week of activities that will help to create space and stillness to help you start on this path of transformation. Be ‘on retreat’ in the midst of your daily life.
‍
There will be three meditation sessions a day, a ‘total immersion’ day, and talks and rituals in the evenings. There will also be ‘fringe’ events including yoga, creative activities, and mantra chanting. Some of the events are also online for anyone outside of London. The programme is designed to fit around any schedule, and you can come to as much as you can.

The Mandala Café, next to the LBC, will be open throughout the Urban Retreat -- a relaxing space with delicious food and drinks. You’ll be able to enjoy cultural events hosted in the café, as well as opportunities to connect between sessions.

We’ll kick-start the retreat on Saturday 7th September at 2.30pm. Come along to as much as you can.

All levels of experience are welcome and events are free, with donations welcome. Sign up below to take part, and we'll send you reminders and details of the events.
