Despite not quite reaching spring as yet, we’re looking ahead to autumn time and a Facilitators Retreat to be held 6 – 8 September 2013 at Kinnoull Monastery, near Perth.

The retreat is aimed not just at those who currently facilitate, but also to those with an interest in developing their skills and confidence in facilitation in the Sangha context.

Full price £125, limited bursaries £95

If you are interested, please note the date in your diary.

Booking info will be posted on the website in due course.
