Silent Day Retreat

Sunny on the Inside 

Do you long for a break from the noise and busyness of daily life? Step into a serene day of reflection and renewal at our Silent Retreat—a rare opportunity to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself.

In a shared space of stillness, you’ll connect with like-minded individuals without pressure or expectation, allowing your mind to relax and your heart to open.

Why join this retreat?

✔ Step back from the demands of daily life and embrace stillness
✔ Experience first-hand the transformative power of silence
✔ Learn to meditate and cultivate inner peace to navigate challenges with clarity

What to expect

This day of retreat at Akanishta Centre offers:

  • Practical guidance on mindfulness and meditation
  • Guided meditations to deepen inner calm
  • Dedicated time for personal reflection
  • A warm, supportive environment designed for rest and renewal

Upon arrival, enjoy a welcome tea and light conversation before gently transitioning into silence. The retreat will conclude with a final session to reflect, ask questions, and ease back into conversation.

A nourishing vegetarian lunch, snacks, and breaks for walking, resting, and reconnecting with nature will be provided.

Whether you’re new to mindfulness or an experienced meditator seeking deeper stillness, this retreat is designed for you. Please arrive between 9:30 and 9:45 AM for registration.

Meet Your Teacher

The day will be led by Guy Fforde, an experienced Kadampa Buddhist teacher who presents profound topics in a clear, practical, and accessible way. His warm and engaging teaching style makes it easy to connect with the heart of Buddhist wisdom and apply it to your own life.
