| Description | Join fellow pilgrims for a week of silent mindful walking along the beautiful ancient Ridgeway path, passing Barbury Castle, Wayland’s Smithy, and Avebury to Stonehenge - where we have booked private time inside the Stones. We will be camping, meditating, and performing ceremony inspired by Buddhism and the land. Stop press! Date change! Due to limited dates available at Stonehenge the Yatra will now start on Friday 30 March and end on the full-moon morning of Friday 6 April. Also there is a small additional cost for entry to Stonehenge. Please email for further details. |

You will only be asked to pay a deposit of £40 per person now: this will be calculated for you. Towards the end of the retreat you will be asked if you want to make a further donation: please consider offering at least the highest rate to ensure we cover costs. |
