A recent retreat attendee commented - "Thank you so much for your kind hospitality and such a relaxing, thought provoking and clearing weekend retreat. I arrived on Friday night with my friend feeling tense, tired and worried about all I had going on over the next couple of weeks. Wondering how I would cope with everything and I left with a blissful brain, calmness and inner peace. We gained so much from each person guiding us through the meditations. Time slowed down, we bonded with such lovely people, laughed, relaxed and empathised with each others life stories of how we heard of and finally got to Bodhisattva Centre. Thank you for all the care, time, thoughtfulness, delicious wholesome food and such valuable advice and teachings to reflect on, practise and nurture ourselves and others. I look forward to seeing you all again soon. " - Zoe.

The retreat location - Bodhisattva Kadampa Meditation Centre

Bodhisattva Kadampa Buddhist Meditation Centre, based in Brighton, is a special place of tranquility, rest, reflection and friendship. It is home to an international Kadampa Buddhist community of 30 friendly lay and ordained residents who share a similar wish to make their lives meaningful by finding lasting peace and happiness from within and helping others to do the same. The centre is located within two acres of quiet leafy grounds and is a haven of peace in the city of Brighton. We are just a few minutes walk from local parks and the sea front and a ten minute drive from the South Downs National Park – an area of protected countryside and natural beauty. There is something here for everyone & everyone is welcome to attend our retreats.
