Most retreats of one week will include one afternoon work period to help us maintain the beauty of the surroundings. Please bring work-clothes and footwear suitable for light gardening work. We also run retreats which are focused around activities which complement meditation, such as the creative arts, T'ai Chi and Yoga. Yoga is a balanced form of body work that leaves you well-toned, refreshed and relaxed. T'ai Chi , a series of graceful and gentle physical exercises, can help develop awareness of your body and increase levels of energy, suppleness, strength and relaxation.
