annual retreats
Each year, Tara Centre runs about three months of intermediate and advanced retreats: nine weeks spread throughout the year as part of the Teacher Training Programme, two week-long Post-Festival retreats after the NKT Spring and Summer Festivals, as well as some other regular retreats.
These retreats are open to everyone who has received the appropriate teachings and empowerments; they are usually lightly guided. They provide a perfect opportunity to withdraw from your usual busy schedule and immerse yourself in your spiritual practice in order to gain deep, practical experience of meditation. Please contact us if you are not sure whether a particular retreat would be suitable for you.
For those new to Buddhism and meditation, we run regular weekend retreats for beginners.
