Guided Meditation Retreat at St Mary’s Lighthouse with Resident Teacher Gen Norden
Escape the everyday in this island retreat to develop a mind “As Calm as the Depths of the Ocean”. (Please note the tide will cut us off from the mainland during this event).
In the serene setting of St. Mary’s Lighthouse, this one-day meditation retreat, combines guided meditation with the tranquil atmosphere of the sea, helping you reduce stress, improve focus, and cultivate inner peace.
With the Lighthouse Island closed to the public and the sea all around, participants will enjoy meditations, practical talks, and time for discussion, all led by Buddhist nun Gen Norden.
Beginners welcome! This is unique opportunity for a profoundly peaceful and rejuvenating day, taking advantage of the lighthouse’s unique space and views.
A vegetarian afternoon tea is included, as well as tea and coffee.
£25 or £15 for members.
