The Urban Retreat 2026

How much can we change our mind in one week? The Urban Retreat is a chance to find out. For seven days, the LBC's usual programme becomes something altogether more intensive – a series of special events designed to create the immersive, transformative conditions of a retreat without leaving the city. All are welcome, sign up for free on our website.

Free (with donations welcome).

In person and online.
