THE SHAPE OF A CÉILE DÉ TEACHING RETREAT
Céile Dé annual residential teaching retreats are intensive, deliberately so, in order to create conditions that people are generally unable to manifest by themselves at home and in their everyday lives. This also gives people who are following the tradition an opportunity to receive sufficient material to work with until their next annual teaching retreat...

- Days begin with meditation before breakfast.
- Generally there are two sessions, each of around one hour's duration, every morning; these consist of either teachings, group discussion or some kind of practice; there is a break between each session, with enough time for reflection as well as teas or coffee. Afternoons are a similar shape, but there is more time available to spend in quiet reflection, either in Nature or indoors, as you wish.
- There is another meditation, or some other spiritual practice, before dinner.
- There is usually some free time after dinner - but optional events are available, giving retreatants the choice to rest a little - or stay intense!
- Every day ends with a meditation around 9 pm, after which we go straight to bed and hope for rich dreams after a day filled with soul nourishment.
THE PRACTICAL BITS
Plan to arrive between 2 and 4pm on the 7th, in order to settle into your room and be ready for the opening session at 5pm. Final session will end approx 3pm on the 11th and we will depart St Mary's after that.
Once you have booked your place, you will receive a few more emails along the way with more information to help you prepare for this gathering.
