More than a work of art, this ancient diagram reveals the hidden causes that keep us circling in patterns of dissatisfaction, as well as the profound path that leads beyond them. In this day retreat, we will  explore the meaning behind each element of the Wheel: the root causes of suffering, the six realms of existence, the twelve links of dependent origination, and the Buddha’s clear message of liberation.The Wheel of Life, traditionally taught by Buddha, presents the complete path to enlightenment. It contains the essential instructions of the Four Noble Truths—what to know, abandon, practice, and attain—as well as the twelve dependent-related links, a chain of cause and effect that shows how we remain bound within samsara, and how we can break free.As we engage with the symbolism of the Wheel, we begin to recognise these patterns within our own experience—and, importantly, how to change them. In this way, the diagram becomes not just something to understand, but something to live by.Guided by KMC Kent’s Principal Teacher, James Baskerville, who brings over 25 years of meditation experience, this retreat offers a practical and inspiring journey through this extraordinary teaching. Set in the peaceful surroundings of beautiful Wootton Hall, and including a delicious lunch, the day provides the perfect opportunity to reflect deeply, recharge, and return home with clarity, purpose, and renewed inspiration for the spiritual path.Veggie Lunch and light refreshments included.The retreat will be held in the beautiful, tranquil setting of Wootton Village Hall, Wootton Lane, Wootton, Canterbury, Kent CT4 6RP.Price: £35 General Admission/ £25 Low income (unemployed or on benefits) £10 Members lunchPlease note: Online Booking & Payment prior the start of the retreat only.Everyone Welcome!meditateinkent.com https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/3f5e3f90-c0de-11f1-aa7e-893ff00ac3f2-rimg-w1171-h740-dca8a898-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/3f9a1010-c0de-11f1-aa7e-893ff00ac3f2-rimg-w740-h740-dcd8b848-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/3fd9d830-c0de-11f1-aa7e-893ff00ac3f2-rimg-w987-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/wootton/the-wheel-of-life/100001988988205264 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, Nonprofit, health-wellness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 7 hours - Location: Wootton Village Hall - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 10, max: 35, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Wootton - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Wootton Village Hall - **lat**: 51.1712826 - **long**: 1.1779286999999385 - **full address**: Wootton Village Hall, Wootton Lane, Wootton, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Wheel of Life - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/fb0e712c8fbf768ec044a0523e21a4ffadd5ad8fa4ebab6b21d9c397b7321602-rimg-w1000-h1000-dc015eaa-gmir.jpg?v=1785103645 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Wheel of Life being held? - **A:** The Wheel of Life takes place on Sun, 01 Nov, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sun, 01 Nov, 2026 at 05:00 pm at Wootton Village Hall, Wootton Lane, Wootton, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Wheel of Life? - **A:** The Wheel of Life is organized by Kadampa Meditation Centre Kent. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "The Wheel of Life", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/fb0e712c8fbf768ec044a0523e21a4ffadd5ad8fa4ebab6b21d9c397b7321602-rimg-w1000-h1000-dc015eaa-gmir.jpg?v=1785103645", "startDate": "2026-11-01T10:00:00+00:00", "endDate": "2026-11-01T17:00:00+00:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/wootton/the-wheel-of-life/100001988988205264", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Wootton Village Hall", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Wootton Lane", "postalCode": "CT4 6RP", "addressLocality": "Wootton", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "51.1712826", "longitude": "1.1779286999999385" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "A Day Retreat", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-07-26", "availabilityEnds": "2026-11-01T17:00:00+00:00", "validFrom": "2026-07-26", "lowPrice": "10.00", "highPrice": "35.00", "price": "10.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/wootton/the-wheel-of-life/100001988988205264" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-07-26", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-07-26", "url": "https://allevents.in/wootton/the-wheel-of-life/100001988988205264", "price": "35.00", "name": "General Admission" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-07-26", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-07-26", "url": "https://allevents.in/wootton/the-wheel-of-life/100001988988205264", "price": "25.00", "name": "Low income - unemployed or on benefits" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-07-26", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-07-26", "url": "https://allevents.in/wootton/the-wheel-of-life/100001988988205264", "price": "10.00", "name": "Monthly members" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Kadampa Meditation Centre Kent", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/kadampa-meditation-centre-kent/22755984", "description": "Kadampa Meditation Centre Kent is a place for the people of Canterbury and Kent, dedicated to offering the opportunity to develop lasting mental peace through meditation and related practices.
