Clear Sky Mind Retreat
26th-28th June 2026
Retreat Description
Escape with us to Pumula Retreat Centre on the beautiful South Coast. Discover an extraordinary journey of exploring the mind itself. You’ll receive clear guidance in teachings from the Buddhist Mahamudra tradition, alongside gentle meditations that help you uncover your own inner potential for lasting peace and happiness. During the sessions, you’ll explore the nature of your mind as vast and clear, like the sky.
You’ll come to see thoughts and emotions as passing clouds that move through it. Through practices such as Body of Light, Clarity, and Root Mind meditations, you’ll learn how to observe thoughts without attachment and connect with the mind’s naturally peaceful state.
These methods help you let go of negativity by recognising it as separate from your true nature. As a result, you can settle into deep clarity, spaciousness, and inner peace.
Set within a tranquil natural environment, Pumula Retreat Centre offers beautiful sea views, quiet walking spaces, and a calm, supportive atmosphere. Wholesome, well-prepared meals further enrich your experience. They are simple, nourishing, and absolutely delicious.
This is a rare opportunity to step back, reconnect, and deepen your inner peace.
We’d love to welcome you — don’t miss this one.
Spaces are limited, so early booking is recommended.
