What is Retreat

     Retreat practice provides the opportunity for you to restore your energies, have time to rest and to let go of the day to day mundane responsibilities and focus on your own inner development and spiritual growth. You can learn to nurture yourself, restore a sense of balance and well-being, and open up to nature. A weight may seem to be lifted from your shoulders and you may be able to experience a fresh perspective that will renew your appreciation for life and your commitment to appreciate and use every precious moment.

     Throughout the year we offer a range of high quality retreats at Nan Hua Temple. In all retreats we practise techniques that are useful in the retreat situation and can also be applied to everyday life. Your basic needs will be completely supported and taken care of within a safe environment created by the facilitators and staff. You can then focus all of your energy and attention on finding the answers you seek and on rejuvenating your body, mind and spirit.
