# Event Details - **Event Name**: Meditation Retreat Day - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 16 Nov, 2025 at 10:30 am – Sun, 16 Nov, 2025 at 04:00 pm - **Event Description**: Take time out, free yourself up, and immerse yourself in a meditation day retreatAbout this EventSometimes we just need to press pause…“It's been a treat to be immersed in so much peace... while learning some solid foundations for a meditative practice.”“Transformative... to feel a lightness and openness has given me space to breathe.”Whether you’re brand new to meditation or have experience, this retreat day offers the chance to explore and deepen your practice with the guidance of experienced Buddhist meditation teachers, and in a setting that naturally supports reflection and stillness. Our venue – the Linklater Pavilion – is nestled in the peaceful surroundings of the Railway Land nature reserve in Lewes, just an hour by train from London.Retreat means to step away from the noise of everyday life and create a space for something different. This one-day event is a chance to do exactly that – to take some time out from the demands of our busy lives and reconnect with a deeper sense of presence, perspective and peace within ourselves.What we’ll be doing…On this day, we’ll focus on a practice that brings together three of the best-known methods of meditation from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and combines them into one practice. These three methods are: using an image, chanting a mantra, and resting with the breath. Each one is a complete method in its own right, however, by bringing them together they affect all three aspects of body, energy and mind - bringing us stability, clarity and presence.There will be ample time given for practice sessions. Alongside this, there’ll be time for questions, and relaxation.Who’s holding itThe day will be held by a team of our experienced teachers who'll lead us through the stages of the practice, based on understandings and instructions found in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.Come and enjoy the exploration and discovery that is meditation, because there’s no time like the present!Practical infoMeditation Retreat DaySunday 16th November 2025Retreat day starts at 10.30am and finishes at 4pm.
