A six-day intensive meditation retreat, open to anyone who is either currently participating in the Breathworks Living Well trainers programme, or is a fully accredited Breathworks Living Well trainer. People who have completed the foundation course in mindfulness meditation and have maintained a personal meditation practice for at least a year are also welcome.

This retreat is a chance to take your personal practice deeper. There will be a simple programme of practice including periods of silence. Tuition is available from members of the core Breathworks team, including an opportunity to discuss your meditation practice one-to-one. There will also be periods of input to deepen the understanding of the main Breathworks themes. This would be an excellent way to fulfil the good practice requirement to participate in an annual residential teacher-led mindfulness meditation retreat. And of course there will be lots of fun, inspiration and good food.

Vimaladhatu Retreat Centre is situated in a very tranquil and beautiful spot, surrounded by vast forests. The view from the house is of the valley, with a village below set in meadows and fields, with hills rising all around. Even while walking on the many forest tracks, one encounters very few people.

The best airports to fly to are Dortmund, Duesseldorf and Cologne. We will provide you with further details after booking and will organize lifts if possible.
