UK retreats/organisations? Taoist, Buddhist, Tantra/Yoga, Whatever's Good :)

[Satya]

Hello,

 

I am looking at prospective retreats to go on when I finish this degree (as a little holiday, and maybe to clear a lot of gunk out of my system).

 

There are so many free retreats to go on (which is great), but, I'm just wondering where to go, if anyone has any personal recommendations of schools, locations, organisations, teachers, etc?

 

Generally I just want to go somewhere where I can do some kind of meditation (preferably some kind of mindfunless of breath, but, whatever works), for a long period of time. However, if there are any Taoist/Neidan/Neigong/Qigong retreats that involve meditation, I'd be interested in attending (not so much for Yoga, as, I already know a lot of the language, and I'd like to learn some Taoist terms/techniques, etc).

 

I could perhaps just dedicate the time at home, tell others in the house that I will be silent for a week, turn off my computer/internet for a week, and draw up a timetable of meditation, practice, reading (got a lot of JAJ material to get through) and walks etc. I guess the advantage of a retreat is no distractions.

 

Any thoughts welcome.

Nice place.

Some excellent resources on the website too.

The meditation vids are super.

Hope that helps and that you find a place to suit you.

Being a zen place you get an evening meal.

Some places they don't eat after mid day.
