INFORMATION FOR THE YOGIS
(Intensive Retreats)

What to bring
Your essentials for sleeping over at the retreat for 10 days. All the medicines that you take regularly. All toiletries.

What we provide
We will provide bed, pillow and duvet. Breakfast and main lunch are provided and juices after 12 pm. Most of the meals are not vegetarian, and those who require vegetarian food will need to tell us in advance.

When to arrive
The evening before the retreat starts, if possible. If not, on the morning of the first day.

How much will it cost?
One centre in a major European city charged 25 Euros per day an intensive retreat like this. Here, we do not have any fixed charges. But the upkeep of the building of course, needs some funds. Therefore, funds towards these costs and food etc, made payable to the Mahasi Dhamma Fellowship (MDF), will be most welcome. MDF is the charity that is running and supporting this meditation centre. The amount will be up to you to decide.

Where we are
420, Lower Broughton Road, Salford, Manchester, M7 2GD
