A Pure Realm at Poulstone Court

This November, 20 sangha members from across the UK gathered at Poulstone Court for the 8th annual Chenrezik retreat. The weekend offered a perfect blend of meditation practice, community, and relaxation in a beautiful rural setting.

The retreat sessions catered for both seasoned practitioners and those new to the practice, with plenty of time to deepen our connection to the teachings. Between sessions, we enjoyed delicious vegetarian food, sociable meal times, and a group walk across the fields and over the Wye River. One brave participant even took a wild swim in the river!

As always, the venue’s lovely old house, spacious gardens, and tranquil countryside created the ideal environment for practice. Old friendships were rekindled, new ones formed, and everyone left feeling refreshed and inspired.

The Chenrezik retreat continues to be a highlight of our calendar, and we look forward to welcoming even more participants next year!
