SUMMARY:Yoga & Meditation Retreat - Embracing Autumn
DESCRIPTION:You are warmly invited to join this seasonal yoga retreat at Purelands Retreat Centre at Kagyu Samye Ling Buddhist Centre from Friday 4th- Sunday 6th September 2026. Surrounded by beautiful countryside you will practice in a retreat centre that emanates peace and harmony.\nIn this weekend retreat we will explore ways to ease the transition from summer into autumn including lifestyle and diet. In yoga\, the transition from summer to autumn mirrors a shift from outward\, expansive energy to a more inward\, reflective awareness. Through practices centred on gratitude and abundance\, you’ll be encouraged to recognise the fullness already present in your life.\nEach session will weave together mindful movement\, breath work\, meditation\, mantra chanting\, and relaxation to cultivate a deep sense of appreciation of the abundance of life. Weather permitting\, we will enjoy some practices outdoors in nature.\nAccommodation is in comfortable single rooms. All meals are vegetarian and are taken at Samye Ling (10 minute walk along a path) There is a kitchen at Purelands with a fridge\, kettle\, for hot drinks and snacks. ( Transport is available to support less mobile participants from Purelands to Samye Ling for meal times).\nThere are plenty of modern showers and toilets (separate male / female/ unisex) .\nThere are stairs up to the practice hall.\nThere will also be an opportunity to get creative in a workshop on Saturday afternoon.\nOn Saturday evening there is an option to join The Chenrezi Puja in The Main Temple.\nThis weekend retreat is a digital detox\, so there is no WiFi in Purelands Retreat Centre. However\, there are phone signals\, so you can keep in touch with the outside world .\nThis retreat is suitable for individuals who have some experience in yoga and meditation (so not suitable for complete beginners).\nCar sharing to Samye Ling will be encouraged to the retreat where possible.\nJill Dobbie trained as a yoga teacher in 2014\, Yoga Scotland Foundation with Carol Godridge then from 2015-17 a 2-year Yoga & Meditation\, Yoga Nidra Teaching Diploma at Mandala Yoga Ashram\, South Wales\, accredited by The British Wheel of Yoga.\nJill had a particular interest in making yoga for mental health and making yoga accessible.\nShe has been teaching weekly yoga classes for 10 years in Dumfries and the surrounding area. Jill previously worked as a nurse for 20 years. As well as teaching yoga Jill volunteers regularly at Lothlorien Therapeutic Community\, joining in the daily programme of gardening\, cooking\, home care\, and shares yoga and meditation walks in nature. This community supports people in the recovery from mental illness.\nCost of this weekend retreat is £240 including accommodation and all meals.
