Solo retreats....

Picture

​We welcome solo practitioners for any length of time and offer three different retreat experiences:

For those who wish to undertake a completely solitary retreat, our hermitage provides absolute seclusion.  It is situated in an isolated part of the property, perched on a large rock high above a steep-sided valley. 
The accommodation is basic: one-room, with no running water or electricity but with a wood-burning stove for winter heat. Bathrooms and showers can be accessed near the meditation hall.

Retreat guests bring their own food supplies. They can spend their entire retreat in the hermitage, or may choose to join the community for evening practice at the meditation hall. 
​

Our monk's cell offers more comfortable accommodation. It has its own bathroom and shower close to the meditation hall and a small kitchenette with microwave and a small refrigerator.
You can choose to bring your own food or have one of our retreat tenzos cook for you. 
​
​If you are interested in doing a solo retreat, please contact us for further information.
