The retreat begins with a short welcome and afternoon meeting followed by dinner and an evening meeting on the first day. There will be two meetings on each full day, finishing with breakfast on the final day. Morning meetings consist of silent and guided meditation; afternoon meetings are dialogues with Rupert.

There are a few types of accommodation on site but there are limited rooms available so please book early to avoid disappointment. Please see below for details:
There are double, twin and shared rooms. Doubles should be booked in couples with two tickets. Shared rooms have three beds per room, two singles in a mezzanine and one double bed in the main part of the room. There are two price options for these shared rooms to allow for the difference in bed size. Shared rooms will be allocated by gender, as will twin rooms unless you book as a couple in a double or twin room, in which case you will be put together in the same room. Please note that couples need to book two tickets to secure a room together. If you wish to share a room with a friend please make a note, when booking, with whom you would like to share and we will do our best to make sure you are together. All rooms are en-suite.

Commuter tickets are also available if you wish to stay off-site at a local B&B or if you live close by. Lunch, dinner and refreshments throughout the day are included in the commuter price or there is an option to stay for lunch only for those who wish to only attend during the day. Please note that guests are not able to stay in camper vans at the venue due to licensing restrictions. Please note that the commuter tickets do not include accommodation and is suitable only for those staying in the local area who would like to come to the meetings each day.
