We will start with a shared meal on the night of arrival, exploring who we are and why we came. The retreat ends after breakfast and closing on the final day.

Having learnt from monastic life how a rhythm provides holding space and freedom, we too will work with a daily rhythm. An optional qi gong exercise will start each day.

After breakfast the working day is spent in silence. Each of us has time and space to work on our own project(s), either in our rooms or in the collective spaces. We eat our shared lunch in silence.

At the end of each afternoon we will offer a meditation, and make space for mindful conversation, joint reflection, and for finding inspiration in each other’s work. After dinner, evening silence prepares us for the night.
