The Guesthouse, Southern Sweden On this retreat, we’ll take inspiration from the Buddha, who often taught the Dharma through images and metaphors drawn from the natural world. Perhaps we’ll discover our own ways of seeing the garden as a living metaphor for practice in our own lives.

The Guesthouse, Southern Sweden Midsummer is a special time of year here in the South of Sweden. The landscape is filled with wildflowers, the garden is at its peak and the long light evenings make the days seem endless. We'll come together in the midst of all this beauty to reflect on the Buddha’s first teaching — The Four Noble Truths.

The Guesthouse, Southern Sweden Our open practice weeks are a blend of a led retreat, a solitary, and a holiday! You’re welcome to come on your own or with friends, and you’ll have the freedom to create your own rhythm and programme. You’re welcome to join for week one, week two, or settle in for the full two weeks.
