An extraordinary week of stillness

Nestled in the serene countryside, Woldingham School is a breathtaking historic building that will transport you to a world reminiscent of Hogwarts. The surroundings are the perfect setting for a transformative silent retreat.

Immerse yourself in guided meditations, non-duality talks, interactive question-and-answer sessions and movement practice. Experience the heart-opening support of stillness and silence in meditation alongside others. This intensive retreat is designed to support awakening and the deepening of insight, bringing clarity to your life.

About the venue

Woldingham is a school, not a purpose-built retreat venue, so there are some limitations: beds are smaller than usual, there is no air conditioning in the rooms, the food is simple, and the venue has less capacity to meet individual special needs.

Theatre seating only. There is no floor space in the main hall.

Woldingham is a completely nut-free venue. Nuts, or anything containing them, cannot be brought onto the property.

The closest shop is a 10-minute drive away and there is no public transport, so please bring everything you need for the week.
