Residential Rounding Retreat at Dartington Estate

We encourage you to make time for a few days of deep rest and purification. These weekends are extremely popular and book out quickly. This is one of the best ways to fast-track your development — one weekend retreat can deliver the benefits of three to six months of regular meditation.

 

 

The Meditation Programme

The weekend focuses on a technique called ‘Rounding’. Rounding is a simple series of yoga poses, followed by a breathing technique called Pranayama. This is easy to learn and can be practised by anyone. When you add this combination to your meditation, the result is an ‘industrial-strength’ programme that enhances the restfulness of meditation and increases the release of deep stress.

 

The Lectures

One of the highlights of a weekend retreat is the opportunity to explore in more depth the Vedic knowledge that accompanies our meditation practice. These lively talks delve into practical topics like relationships, managing change, and finding balance in life.

 

The Venue

We’ll be staying at the Dartington Trust estate in South Devon near Totnes. This 1,200 acre campus for progressive learning in arts, ecology and social justice is set amongst rolling green fields, magnificent formal gardens and Grade II listed buildings. We’re in the heart of the grounds, able to access all that nature has to offer on our doorstep.

 

 

 

The Meals

Delicious vegetarian meals will be served, to support and enhance your meditation programme. Time shared socialising around the table is some of the most enjoyable of the weekend.

 

 

The Rooms

We’re so pleased to be able to offer a wide selection of rooms that have a collegiate feel, reflecting the backdrop of learning and culture that is part of the Dartington experience. From the Manor Rooms in the main building through to the more basic student-style accommodation on the campus, we have a range of options to suit different budgets.

 

Prerequisite

This retreat is open to those who have learned Vedic Meditation in-person with a qualified instructor.

Praise for past retreats...

It’s been the most amazing weekend. The fatigue I have released is incredible, and I feel physically and mentally lighter. In turn this is opening me up to new ways of thinking, being and doing. 

 

I feel deeply, powerfully rested; several years younger; skin, eyes, mind, and heart, all clearer and sharper; and like I’ve given myself a wonderful gift. Thank you – a perfect rounding retreat. 

 

I had a fantastic weekend which was completely unique to anything I had done before. It was great spending time with so many interesting and different people and I found the rounding a profound and special experience.

 

I have never felt so rested in a few days away. The perfect weekend – I am relaxed, energised, and educated for a lifetime of change.
