The day will be silent, apart from the tea and discussion at the end. The Dharma talk in the morning will be given informally and you can have tea while that is happening, but there won’t be any socialising. During the lunch break, if you are going to return for the afternoon session, you’ll be encouraged to maintain a meditative approach to what you are doing, by using lunch as an opportunity for working meditation and by not checking phones or emails.
Anyone who is interested in joining this retreat can contact the Priory for more details, including the link to the Zoom meeting.
