Description

Vipassana Weekend Retreat with Jay Date: Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th of November 2025 | 10:30 AM – 4:00 PM Location: 2 Burgh Street, London, N1 8HF For: Beginners who are curious to discover Vipassana meditation, as well as more experienced practitioners looking to progress in their practice and become established in the full technique. This weekend goes beyond the one day retreat, offering greater benefits and insights. You’re warmly invited to join a silent, mindfulness-based meditation weekend, including an introduction to Vipassana and other meditation techniques. Experience the profound impact of meditation in a group and learn tools to enhance your concentration, memory, sleep, compassion, and break unhealthy mental patterns. All this while reducing stress, blood pressure, anxiety, and pain. More importantly, you’ll learn how to integrate meditation into your daily routine for sustainable, healthy change. There will be opportunities to ask questions, reflect, and share experiences in a supportive environment. Please note: The retreat is non-residential—you arrive in the morning and leave in the afternoon each day.
