Hi all

I decided to go to this retreat in the end and found it very beneficial, even if it was expensive. It wasn’t like other retreats I had been to, and I was surprised at how busy the daily schedule was. Considering there were nearly 900 people there, it was really well organised. Thich Nhat Hanh’s talks in particular were very clear and interesting. His approach definitely seems to be very modern and he talked a lot about our effects on the environment and having respect for our planet.

If anyone is interested, his talks from the retreat are available on vimeo.com using the search 'nottingham retreat 2012'

Thanks, JR
