Relaxation Retreat ~ Weekend Break

Relaxation weekends provide opportunities to cultivate inner peace through contemplating practical Buddhist teachings ~ leaving you refreshed, energised, and ready to take on the world!

Enjoy a distraction-free retreat in the beautiful and peaceful grounds of Kilnwick Percy Hall. A perfect place to relax and immerse yourself in meditation. Surrounded by 42 acres of beautiful grounds and gardens with lakeside and woodland walks, you can truly feel rested and revived.

The weekend starts at 7pm on Friday and ends at 2pm on Sunday, and there is plenty of time between sessions to enjoy the café and countryside walks.

What people say

Definitely my calm amidst the storm of life. I don’t need to do anything other than walk in the grounds (and breathe) to know that every storm runs out of energy eventually… absolutely could not have got myself through the past 12 months without regular visits.

Bee

A very special place to come and re charge. Amazing grounds, people and fantastic food served like clock work. Massive thanks to all the residents and working visitors for making my stay so enjoyable.
