Coronavirus / COVID-19

This pandemic is a rapidly changing situation and what we write here will be out of date by the time you read it. We are monitoring the situation and considering the impact on our activities.

We decided to cancel the March and April retreats to avoid the risk of virus transmission in the close-quarters living conditions on retreat. Depending on the further information and advice that becomes available in the coming weeks and months we may need to cancel further retreats or we may be able to go ahead and run them. We will advise anyone with bookings of any cancellation as soon as the decision has been made.
