Emotional Intelligence in Practice: Working with the Kleshas

The heart/mind of each one of us is essentially open, dynamic, and connected to all life. However, we easily lose track of that open-hearted fluidity and feel isolated and disconnected. This is due to our limiting habitual tendencies, which can be very tenacious. These tendencies are called 'kleshas’ – afflictions that both stir us up and narrow our view of ourselves and life. On this retreat we’ll explore how we tie up energy, and how it can be freed into something much more creative and unlimited. Through learning and practising the 5 meditative methods set out in a Tibetan text…

Zen and Now

Often when we begin meditating, we have a good practice, but after a few years, we struggle not to be caught up in our habitual thinking and find that our meditation seems to become more superficial. In the Zen tradition, it is said that we should always keep a “beginner’s mind.” On this silent meditation retreat, we will be looking at ways to recapture our natural curiosity and openness, understanding that it is this state of beginner’s mind that is meditation—rather than simply a method of meditating. Through periods of stillness, simple teachings, and spacious practice, we will explore how…

2026 Practice Retreat 2

**Please note that this retreat runs from Monday to Monday** The main feature of these popular retreats is that they allow retreatants to follow the themes and rhythms emerging in their own meditation practice. In some ways they can be compared to going on solitary retreat while offering the support and structure that practising in the company of others can bring. While the practice retreats have no formal teaching input, the daily programme can be tailored to meet the needs of the individual, with support from Vajraloka team members. The simple programme has periods of morning and afternoon meditation with…
