Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre
Come and spend a few days in the heart of the English Lake District!
Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre offers a variety of stays to suit every wish and need.
You do not need to be a Buddhist to enjoy a stay at the centre.
To rest and recharge in a peaceful, spiritual setting. You do not need to be attending a course or event: simply book an overnight stay and enjoy the tranquillity of Conishead Priory at your own pace (walks in the grounds, visits to the Temple, free daily meditations, relaxation, etc.). A self-service breakfast is included, and lunch and dinner can be booked separately.
To support the Buddhist community in its daily life: serving in the café, preparing guest rooms, cooking, gardening, joining a renovation project, and more (30 hours over five days). You will have two days free each week to explore the stunning Lake District or simply relax at the centre. Daily meditations and evening classes are free for all volunteers.
Led by qualified teachers, these weekends are an opportunity to learn or deepen simple, practical meditation techniques for daily life, based on breathing, love, or other positive states of mind. Whether you are a complete beginner or a more experienced practitioner, you will find something to suit you.
Led by qualified teachers, these retreats invite you to deepen spiritual guidance on joy, patience, love, wisdom and more; to become familiar with these positive states of mind through guided meditations; and to experience genuine serenity, wellbeing, and a sense of inner fulfilment arising from within.
Stays are available throughout the year, subject to availability and the centre’s annual closure periods and special events. All stays must be booked in advance by contacting the reception team.
