You’ll sit alongside others committed to the same exploration\, discovering what it means to find The Way. \nThe Vedanta Center provides a natural container for practice. Whether this is your first residential retreat or your twentieth\, Finding The Way meets you exactly where you are. The schedule offers structure without rigidity\, with time for both communal sitting and quiet reflection. \nWe’re offering two dates for this retreat\, both will follow the exact same schedule. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Note from Henry\nFinding The Way isn’t about discovering something new\, it’s about recognizing what’s been here all along. This retreat offers three days to stop searching and come into the present moment\, just as it is now\, just this. \nI don’t often have the chance to teach residential retreats in the UK\, so I’m particularly looking forward to these two retreats at Vedanta Center.
