An open retreat to experience the innate and ever-present peace, wellbeing, and love that resides in us all. Everyone is welcome, whether or not you are a member of the School.

Set in the glorious natural surroundings of Nanpantan Hall in Leicestershire, these days are given to the practice of being fully present. We sing, meditate, practise yoga, prepare food together, and share our experience, all in the best of human company. Most importantly, there is space to simply be still and find inner peace.

Two date options: Saturday 29 August to Tuesday 1 September 2026, and Saturday 3 to Tuesday 6 October 2026.

Meals are vegetarian and prepared by those attending. Arrive between 4.00pm and 5.00pm on the first day; depart by 11.00am on the final day. Please bring your own duvet cover, pillowcase, sheet, and towels - bedding and towel hire is available for a small charge.
