Silent Meditation Retreat
What Will Happen
The meditation retreat is a very simple format. There will be short 20 minute meditations followed by open periods of practice for walking, sitting quietly, drinking tea or just enjoying our beautiful garden.
There will be short teachings and guidance from Suryacitta, in the meditation space, with time for questions and discussion on any aspect of life and meditation.
Outside of the meditation space there will be silence to allow teachings to be absorbed and to aid reflection and relaxation.
There will be breaks for tea and biscutes, lunch and cake in the afternoon will be provided for the in-person option.

Meditation Retreat in Leicester - What people say about our weekend retreats
"I feel the benefits of the retreat every day. The concentrated practice boosts my awareness, I would like one a month, ha ha! I can see why people attend longer retreats, the difference with practice and general living is quite pronounced."

"This mindfulness retreat in Leicester surprised me – I was expecting a usual two days of Silence and instead I got an intensive retreat. Marvellous!!! Sorry I never tire of listening to you – you’re a great teacher. Even when I’ve heard you say some of it before it’s always fresh and often funny which I love. Thank you again and to Gaynor for making everything in the background always run smoothly." Sue
“It exceeded my expectations, Suryacitta always keeps the content simple and understandable” Colin
"Thank you! I have enjoyed the retreat. It’s a little like stepping out of reality for two days (which feels like a week!). I’ve never experienced anything to compare it with but I’m really happy and chilled with some refreshed strategies for life." Kerry
"Have enjoyed popping my balloons! The teachings have brought me down to earth again, which is what I needed. Lovely weekend." Deb
“Hello Suryacitta, This email brings HUGE THANKS for your presence and teachings last weekend. I could include a long shopping list of the items which worked for me really well, , , , , , ,!! Sam
"I had not heard of you before. A friend posted about the retreat &
I was in need of some silent time with the collective energy of awareness.
So I signed up, , , , very happy I did, a powerful retreat for me. Scientists tell us that the sense of smell can trigger very early memories. I am wondering now what the influence of a home town accent is? from one Smoggy to another" K bob
