VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO JOIN OUR DAY RETREAT TEAM IN 2020
Please consider joining our team; it’s a great way to get involved with the Bristol Insight Meditation community.
We are a friendly group, sadly losing a couple of our team members this year to pastures new in Penzance!
We are organising 6 day retreats in 2020 – so maybe you could volunteer for one year to try it out!
We meet 5-6 times a year in each other’s houses (weekday evenings for two hours max) to plan the events. Then on retreat days we meet at the venue at 815am to:
set up the Hall for the teachings
organise the shared lunches
meet and greet and generally make sure our retreatants and the teacher enjoy the day
and of course help clear up; generally we get away at about 5.30pm; or earlier if we have more helping hands…
Of course the retreats are free of charge for the organising team…the other benefits are:
- a feeling of warmth during the day as participants relax and enjoy the teachings
- the team spirit engendered by these wonderful silent retreats and
- a sense of open-heartedness as you engage in the service of your local practice community.
