When our health suffers life can be challenging. Through bringing the skills of meditation and compassion into our life we benefit from a more relaxed mind providing clarity and greater well being. This is a profound and natural way to care for ourselves.

During these residential workshops we will introduce meditation and loving kindness practice, offer a chance to reflect on personal experience and provide an opportunity to meet and share with others on a similar journey.

This three-day retreat is open to anyone living with serious illness and will be held at Dechen Shying Spiritual Care Centre Care. Accommodation is available there for you and also your carer if you wish. Please call in advance to discuss your situation and needs.

You may wish to extend your visit by arriving some days earlier, or staying some days longer.
