A week long retreat
Im looking forward to heading off tomorrow lunchtime on my first week long retreat.
Ive been on several weekend retreats now and whilst I greatly enjoy them and get quite a lot out of them, there’s a bit of a feeling thats its almost over by the time Im settling in. A week should really give me some time to get deep into my meditation practice without distraction (maybe it should be called an Advance, not a Retreat!).
The venue is the Vajraloka Meditation Centre in Wales and as you can see from the pic, it looks like a beautiful spot – Ive bought some new walking boots for the occasion.
Im a tiny bit apprehensive about committing to such an immersive experience, not least because of the amount of meditation thats likely to be involved, but Ive been meditating a lot more this year (an hour every weekday morning, three hours on saturday morning, plus shorter sits as part of my wednesday and thursday evenings) so it should feel like a natural progression.
Im not taking a mobile phone and theres no internet, so this is me logging out for a week – see you on the other side!

Have fun and take care to ease yourself back into life when you get back – it can be a real shock to the system after such a long time with your thoughts!
thanks guys – I had a fantastic week.
Good advice Nicky, Im taking it easy this weekend whilst I get back up to speed.
Xx
