Beautiful retreat venues, quiet surroundings and ideal settings for small groups

A few times a year Rising Falling will organise a Vipassana retreat in the United Kingdom. We do select our venues for their beautiful locations, quiet surroundings and ideal settings for small groups.

In May 2023 we will organize a retreat in Derbyshire. In a beautiful Victorian property dating back to 1860. It enjoys views over the surrounding fields and it has a nice garden.
The bedrooms are spacious and therefor give you plenty of room to practice. Also the living room as well as the conservatory provide space to meditate.

Price for a Private Room with ensuite Bathroom is £549,-.
If you want to share a room, please ask for the possibilities.

The retreat will start on the 13^th of May, arrival time is 15:00. And it will finish on the 20^th of May.

You can find the programme for the Vipassana retreat on this website. With the difference that we get up at 5:00 am during the retreat in the UK.

The group will be small; between 6 and 12 people.
And every day there will be time for you to report to the teacher about your experiences and get further guidance in the meditation.

Therefore we can recommend this Vipassana retreat for people with no experience in meditation as well as for people with a lot of experience. In the evening there will be group meditations and Dharma talk, where the teacher will tell a story or talk about experiences to give you more insight into the meditation technique.
Vipassana meditation will give you more clarity, insights and silent friendships.
If you need a real break from everything, or if you do not know what your next step in life will be, a Vipassana might help you.

During the retreat my assistant Marije Vesters will prepare the meals, as well as supporting with the meditations and she is there to answer questions as well.

The meals will be vegetarian and if you have food allergies. please let us know.

A deposit needs to be paid to hold the place and the full amount needs to be paid by the 14th of April.

The teaching is donation based.

Please bring some white clothes and a count down timer.

If you have any questions, please contact Martin through the contact form. If you are doubting if Vipassana is suitable for you, you can also ask Martin for advice.
