Please note - this retreat is now fully booked
This longer annual period of practice is one of our favourite retreats at Dharma Gaia. It offers the opportunity to go deep in a spacious way, to nourish our concentration, our joy and our peace through the practice and through the power of living in a stable focussed community.
The retreat schedule weaves together formal practice periods of sitting and walking meditation, body-centred movement practices, deep relaxation, Dharma teachings and group sharing. Throughout the 10 days we will be nourished by living mindfully in the wonder and beauty of nature, resting into periods of silence, eating organically and mostly from the garden, caring for the land and unscheduled time for rest and personal contemplation.

CANCELLATION POLICY
When we prepare for a retreat each one of you counts and is counted in the number of beds that are made and the amount of food that is cooked. As we are often booked out quite quickly, a cancellation can prevent someone else from joining us.
In the event of a cancellation up to 10 days prior to the starting date of the retreat, we can offer a 75% refund or the funds can be carried over to your next retreat.
However, a cancellation within 10 days of the retreat starting date is non-refundable.
We write this in light of goodwill and in the understanding that life being life, things may change at the very last minute. Please, contact us to share/explain your circumstances.
