Keeping our Practice Alive

Keeping our Practice Alive

We are practising in a time of unparalleled access to a diversity of Buddhist and other traditions. This retreat will explore how Insight Meditation can be supported by some awareness of different approaches to practice, understanding them not so much as alternative paths but as complementary skilful means toward freeing the heart and mind.


JENNY WILKS has practised meditation for many years and has an MA in Indian Religions. She has taught on retreats and Dharma gatherings since 2005. She works as a clinical psychologist and teaches mindfulness in healthcare settings.

PAUL BURROWS has been a student of both Asian and senior western Dharma teachers since 2000. He has practised in ashrams, Buddhist monasteries and retreat centres in the UK, India and Nepal and began leading retreats in the Insight Meditation tradition in 2007. His teachings and practice emphasise connecting with others, and awakening to how we create and are created by the world around us.
