Introductory Meetings:

There are no introductory retreats planned at present.

Reverend Roland, a senior monk from Throssel Hole Buddhist Abbey in Northumberland, will leads the retreats and is able to offer meditation instruction to newcomers.

Meetings start at 10-30 am.

We are also supporting a Wesak celebration for all Buddhists in the region organised for May. Click here for details.

Newcomers are asked to arrive at 10-30 a.m. for Soto Zen meditation instruction. If that is not convenient please contact the organisers to arrange a different time. At these weekend meetings there is also meditation at 11 a.m. and a Midday Service at about 1-15 p.m. Tea is available and you are welcome to bring some food for a shared lunch at 12-30 p.m.; do not feel obliged to stay for the whole day.
