General Guidelines
All weekend retreats are suitable for beginners. It is advisable to do
a weekend retreat before doing a longer retreat. Due to high demand:
- There is a limit of three retreats per person per year;
- Places for Ajahn Sumedho’s retreats will be allocated by lottery
at the end of 2009. Priority will be given to people who have not taken part in his retreats during the last two years.
Booking Procedure
Bookings are only accepted on receipt of a completed booking
form, which can be obtained by:
Please note that bookings cannot be made over the telephone.

Registration is from 16.00 – 19.00 on the first day of the retreat. The
orientation talk is at 19.15. Weekend retreats end at 16.00, longer
retreats at lunchtime. Attendance is expected for the whole retreat.
Donations
No advance booking fee is required. The Retreat Centre is funded
solely through donations. Donations are invited at the end of the
retreat.
