4 Days to Explore Inner Conditions for Genuine Wellbeing
Join us for an online weekend Buddhist meditation retreat
Join David and Manu Oromith for a four-day live-streamed retreat exploring the inner conditions for genuine wellbeing.
This online retreat brings the heart of our annual in-person Refresh & Recharge retreat to you at home, with live-streamed teachings, guided meditations, and nourishing yoga practices.
Over four days, we’ll explore the theme “Habits of Happy People” – habits you can train in to cultivate greater joy, connection, and freedom in life.
The themes are drawn from both the Buddhist tradition and psychology and will include qualities like generosity and contentment, ethical living and healthy boundaries, patience and forgiveness, diligence and inner strength, concentration and mindful presence, and wisdom and insight.
These themes can help us develop the skills and tools to manage stress more effectively and develop a happier, healthier approach to life and its challenges.
This retreat is also taking place in person, in Lincolnshire. If you’d like to join us in person instead, up-to-date availability can be found here.
From the comfort of your own home
You can engage with this course in whatever way suits you most. This can mean setting aside the week to follow along live and make it a full retreat in your own space, or following the recordings at your own pace, or anything in between.
It’s really important to us that you feel a part of the retreat and connected with both the teachings and what is happening online and offline.
We arrange the tech in such a way as to mean you can both see and hear the teacher, but also the participants in the room, meaning that you don’t miss out on any questions or discussions that take place. You’re also able to ask questions, and the teacher and the room are able to see and hear you, as if you were there in person.
During the day, there will also be an opportunity for the online attendees to come together to share, discuss and reflect on the day’s activities as a group. There will also be an optional WhatsApp group – an opportunity to keep connected and chat with others.
Feedback from participants in previous years was wonderful; they really felt a part of the retreat and that it was no different doing it from the comfort of their own home. They formed some very supportive relationships with other online attendees, which continued long after the retreat ended.
We invite you to come along and be a part of this programme.
If you’re unable to follow live, video recordings are uploaded (unedited) within a few hours of the live session happening. Higher quality recordings are uploaded after the retreat. The recordings will remain on the website indefinitely, so you can revisit the teachings and practices again and again.
David will lead this retreat, run the workshops and guided meditations, and be on hand as a mentor to support you.
David is an experienced Buddhist contemplative and meditation guide who has studied and taught internationally for several years. He is the Co-Founder of Samadhi and a qualified mindfulness teacher, and an active member of the Association for Spiritual Integrity. His teaching style is clear and practical, and his warm and humorous approach makes him a popular mindfulness teacher.
Manu is our retreat co-ordinator and accredited yoga teacher. He will guide our morning vinyasa yoga sessions and, alongside our venue hosts, will be around to assist you during your retreat and make sure you have a wonderful experience.
He is the Co-Founder of Samadhi and a Mental Health First Aider. Manu’s laid-back approach and kind heart has a warming and inspiring impact on our retreatants and he is much loved by all.
