The Buddha was born under a tree, and enlightened under a tree. He taught under trees in the forest, and died under two trees. And yet, the opportunity to connect with Buddha, Dharma and Sangha in wild spaces, beneath the soothing energy of trees, can sometimes feel rare. During this three-night wild camping retreat, we will meditate and share our favourite Buddhist teachings with each other. We will walk silently and mindfully in open green spaces. We will watch the river flow, contemplating our impermanence; we will meditate together, beneath the trees, just as the Buddha once did. Find out more and book a place on Eventbrite.
