Going Deeper retreats are an ideal first regulars’ retreat. They are suitable for anyone who has already done an introductory retreat, or who has been attending their local Triratna centre and wants to take their practice deeper.
This retreat emphasises a body-based approach to meditation, supported by yoga, Qi Gong and somatic movement—practices that invite you to experience movement from the inside rather than simply performing shapes. Together they help us develop a fuller physical and emotional awareness, and explore what it means to practice metta-based mindfulness in both movement and stillness.
Metta—a kindly, non-judgmental awareness—forms the basis of all our practices. We will explore how blurring the lines between the Mindfulness of Breathing and Metta Bhavana allows us to come into a greater sense of ease and expansion. We'll also bring in a stronger Just Sitting and reflection element. The retreat includes an introduction to Buddhist ritual and puja, and longer periods of silence to support a deeper experience of ourselves and each other.
Yoga teaching is suitable for both beginners to yoga and experienced practitioners. For more information read the retreat information sheet.
