Seven Day Retreat at Buckland Hall - May 2019

The retreat starts with dinner on the first day followed by a short welcome and the first meeting. There will be two meetings on each full day, finishing with lunch on the final day. Morning meetings consist of silent and guided meditation; afternoon meetings are dialogues with Rupert.

The retreat is now fully booked. Please write to Niya, niya@rupertspira.com, with your ticket preference and she will add you to the waiting list for a ticket.

There are several types of accomodation; single, double, twin and dormitory rooms. All rooms are en-suite apart from the singles which share one bathroom between two single rooms. 

Doubles should be booked in couples with two tickets; dormitory rooms have 4 beds per room and will be allocated by gender, as will twin rooms unless you book as a couple in a double or twin room, in which case you will be put together in the same room.

Commuter tickets are for those who want to stay off site at a local B&B or if you live close by. Lunch, dinner and refreshments throughout the day are included in the commuter price or there is an option to stay for lunch only for those who wish to only attend during the day. Niya has a list of accommodation for those still looking for a place to stay.

Please note that guests are not able to stay in camper vans in the car park of Buckland Hall due to licensing restrictions.
