One of the many joys of a holiday is that you don’t have to lift a finger. But on this meditation retreat, you won’t even have to open your mouth, unless it’s to devour the delicious vegan meals, of course. Tucked away in the Snowdonian countryside, this transformative getaway is a treat for the mind, body and soul. Solo travellers can unwind and regain balance in complete silence with daily guided shamatha meditation and soothing yoga practice. Dig deeper within with views of the majestic mountains and serene valleys, and who knows what you might discover.

Join us for a 4-day silent Buddhist meditation retreat in the breathtaking setting of the Snowdonia National Park.
During this silent shamatha meditation retreat, led by Buddhist meditation teacher, David Johnson, and accredited yoga teacher, Manu Orozco, we will explore methods for cultivating tranquillity (shamatha) through body, breath and mind.
During the sessions with David, we will explore the practice and theory of shamatha meditation. Through shamatha meditation, we train our attention skills and improve our focus and concentration. These practices allow us to unwind, let go of stress and worry, and cultivate mental and emotional balance.

Sessions with Manu will complement our practice, as Manu shares gentle asanas from the yogic traditions which deepen our tranquillity and enhance our connection with the body. The soothing and healing yoga sessions also help to improve physical flexibility, strength and resistance.
