- **Event Description**: You are warmly invited to join this seasonal yoga retreat at Purelands Retreat Centre at Kagyu Samye Ling Buddhist Centre from Friday 4th- Sunday 6th September 2026. Surrounded by beautiful countryside you will practice in a retreat centre that emanates peace and harmony.  

In this weekend retreat we will explore ways to ease the transition from summer into autumn including lifestyle and diet. In yoga, the transition from summer to autumn mirrors a shift from outward, expansive energy to a more inward, reflective awareness. Through practices centred on gratitude and abundance, you’ll be encouraged to recognise the fullness already present in your life. 

Each session will weave together mindful movement, breath work, meditation, mantra chanting, and relaxation to cultivate a deep sense of appreciation of the abundance of life. Weather permitting, we will enjoy some practices outdoors in nature.  

Accommodation is in comfortable single rooms. All meals are vegetarian and are taken at Samye Ling (10 minute walk along a path) There is a kitchen at Purelands with a fridge, kettle, for hot drinks and snacks. ( Transport is available to support less mobile participants from Purelands to Samye Ling for meal times).  
There are plenty of modern showers and toilets (separate male / female/ unisex) . 
There are stairs up to the practice hall. 
There will also be an opportunity to get creative in a workshop on Saturday afternoon. 
On Saturday evening there is an option to join The Chenrezi Puja in The Main Temple. 
This weekend retreat is a digital detox, so there is no WiFi in Purelands Retreat Centre. However, there are phone signals, so you can keep in touch with the outside world . 
This retreat is suitable for individuals who have some experience in yoga and meditation (so not suitable for complete beginners). 
Car sharing to Samye Ling will be encouraged to the retreat where possible.
