The Urban Retreat is an opportunity to practice Buddhism within the context of your normal working life, by spending a week focusing on a particular topic.  Many Buddhists go away on retreat for periods of time, often to retreat centres - but this retreat encourages participants to practice in their normal day-to-day environment, which is often more challenging than being secluded in a retreat centre.

Virya Technologies will be participating predominently online, and hope to also be able to run some lunchtime meditation sessions at their offices in Ipswich for people who might be interested in learning meditation or finding out more about the Urban Retreat.

You can sign up at www.thebuddhistcentre.com/urbanretreat if you would like to join in - why not find out if your local Buddhist Centre is running activities for the retreat?
