About this event

Take a break from the chaos and join us for a rejuvenating day retreat organised by the Kent Group of the Janki Foundation in the beautiful countryside setting of The Quiet View, near Canterbury.

Blessing our own lives and the journey ahead - inspiration and silence
Dr Julia Ronder will lead this retreat on Saturday 27th April, beginning with an hour's talk and suggested practices guidance on the theme of ‘Blessing our own lives and our journey ahead’. After this, you'll participate in 3 and 1/2 hours of silence, during which you can walk in the beautiful Quiet View Gardens, spend time in the yurt, on the labyrinth, under the shelter, or reflecting in any of the meditation spaces. The time is yours. We will then come out of silence for the last half hour of the retreat to share our experiences.

Who is it for?
The retreats are for those working in health and/or social care, ideally with previous experience of participating in a silent retreat.

How do I book?
You'll be asked to fill out a brief form and give a donation to The Quiet View in order to confirm your place. If you are unable to attend and give a week's notice, your donation will be returned to you minus the ticketing fee.
