annual retreats

Gen Jigme during retreat at Tara Centre

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.

Most of these retreats are open to everyone and 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. If you have not been on one of these retreats previously, but would like to give one a try, please get in touch with our Education Programme Co-ordinator.

For those new to Buddhism and meditation, we run regular weekend retreats for beginners.
