Waterperry Retreat Programme 2025/26

The Waterperry Retreat Programme offers a series of retreats at Waterperry House in the Oxfordshire countryside, set among beautiful gardens and grounds.

The programme is designed for those attending a retreat with the School for the first time, as well as for those who have enjoyed these events before. Each retreat brings together philosophy, meditation, and time to rest in a peaceful setting.

The 2025/26 programme has now come to a close. For the current programme and its dates, please see our retreats pages.

What to expect

The days begin each morning with meditation and quiet time, followed by study and group discussion. Meals are vegetarian, and participants are asked to help with some of the catering and cleaning, though this is kept to a minimum.

Both single and twin rooms are available. Please bring a duvet cover, sheet, pillowcase, and bath towel. In the evening, smart or casual wear is usual, to give a sense of occasion.

Places are offered on a first come, first served basis, so early booking is recommended.
