Meditation and Movement
Balancing physical movement and the development of calm and concentration through meditation. We offer several retreats that combine meditation and Yoga. We also have one weekend that combines meditation and walking and another that even fuses meditation with dancing!

Rivendell offers several retreats which integrate meditation and yoga. All our yoga teachers are experienced, and were Iyengarİ trained, but may also draw on other traditions.
Introductory meditation will be taught by a member of the Western Buddhist Order on retreats marked *.

Yoga and meditation week:
“yoga is the process of stilling the movements and fluctuations of the mind that disturb consciousness” - (Patanjali's definition of yoga in his Yoga Sutras ca 2500 years ago): on this retreat we will explore the common ground between the practice of yoga and meditation. We will do this through asana practice (postures), sitting meditation and other supportive practices involving body, mind and speech.
August 15-22*: £325/275
We want to take advantage of Rivendell’s beautiful location at the edge of the Ashdown Forest, but in the context of Buddhist practice. You will be given guidance to help you get the most out of taking expeditions into the surrounding countryside. Saturday will be an all-day walk. We cannot, unfortunately, guarantee the quality of the weather, so bring some wet-weather clothing. Yoga instruction will also be available to keep those limbs loose! (Suitable for those familiar with both basic FWBO meditations)
August 8-10: £135/115
This weekend will be a blend of dance, meditation, and ritual. Gabrielle Roth’s 5 Rhythms Dance Practice assists us to move our bodies and our minds closer to an awareness of ourselves and our relationship to others. This allows us to arrive at a state of groundedness and receptivity to the practices of meditation and ritual. Open to all levels of experience of dance and meditation.
August 29-31: £130/100
