Details

Peter Radcliffe has traveled the world learning the ancient art of meditation, and his passion is to share it – and help as many people as he can live the lives they live. Take a journey into the foundations of meditation, designed especially for those who want to gain a deeper understanding of the benefits a meditation practice can bring. Over the weekend Peter will share his down-to-earth, highly informative yet gentle meditation instructions. This Meditation Retreat is ideal if you are new to meditation, or still learning, but want to go beyond simple guided meditation. By learning from techniques of the past you will master the basics, and gain a solid understanding of what meditation is, how it works, and how it can benefit your mind and body. Based solidly on the Buddhist tradition, yet free from religion, Peter brings his modern style of logic and practicality to make meditation a part of your everyday life. You will learn techniques that people around the world have been using for over 2,500 years, and what to expect if you keep up meditation regularly.

Testimonials

info

I began my meditation group last week and I am now sitting here this evening and am so emotionally overwhelmed at how well it went. Everyone who came last week returned, and another newbie. All are paid 5 weeks upfront. It’s not about the money but the positive feedback, group energy, accomplishment, and how grateful I am. I cannot thank you enough. I had so much fear and battled massively about not being good enough. None of this would have been possible if it wasn’t for your amazing teachings. Very grateful.

I found the retreat in July to be a great experience, I learnt new skills that are useful in daily life and enjoyed great food and met some interesting people. Thx Peter you made it meaningful and kept the group interested and challenged us with your teachings.
