personal retreats

For meditators wishing to engage in a personal retreat, The Barn at Tara Centre offers ideal conditions: quiet, somewhat apart from the main Centre in its own enclosed gardens and walking area overlooking the fields of the Derbyshire countryside.

There are a few different options for personal retreat here:

  1. Come and do strict retreat on a particular object that you have already decided upon and have some familiarity with. This is ideal for experienced practitioners who are clear about their object of meditation and need little or no guidance or support.
  2. Attend a Tara Centre course and then stay on for a while to do some personal retreat on the course topic.
  3. We can help you plan your retreat and give you advice on suitable topics for meditation based on materials such as the Tharpa Publications 'New Meditation Handbook' or the 'Meditations for ...' series of CDs.

Options 2 and 3 are ideal for those who are wanting a relaxed, structured meditative break with some guidance and support.

Please contact us to discuss and plan your retreat.
