Retreat Survey Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.The Tibetan Buddhist Society is considering holding additional short retreats e.g. a one day retreat on a Saturday (One day retreat) or a 1.5 day retreat on Saturday and Sunday morning (1.5 day retreat). While we're still at planning stage, it's likely we'd offer short retreats in both onsite and online formats. We've found that many people, whether experienced meditators or not, and whatever their level of interest in Buddhism, find the retreat experience as enjoyable, meaningful and helpful as a "reset". To help us shape our short retreat program we'd really like to hear from our wider community.

(At the moment we don’t have any preferred approach but these possibilities have been floated with a view to making it feasible to offer more frequent retreats given that doing so depends on volunteer support).
