There will be three meditation periods a day and a varied programme of study and reflection in the restful atmosphere of Fintry and its extensive grounds.

The cost for a two-night stay is £250 per person, to include lunch and an evening meal. Please contact the office to make payment via bank transfer or cheque.
As with previous retreats, anyone who feels they are unable to attend for financial reasons, please
