Individual Solitary Retreat in the UKPlace of Meditators – a quiet place for reflection & growth

Gomde UK, Lindholme Hall offers a wonderful environment for serious meditation practitioners to practice. Retreat enables us to realise the true intent of the Buddha’s teaching and strengthen our insight, understanding and develop helpful habits. We offer supported individual seasonal retreat in Lindholme Hall and year round retreat in self-contained solitary woodland cabins.
“Therefore in these lovely gleaming woods, With joy that’s marred by few concerns, Where mental wandering will cease, I will remain in blissful solitude.”

Solitary retreats in private cabins

For those seeking complete privacy, silence and solitude, our two off-the-grid solitary retreat cabins offer an ideal setting. Nestled within the peaceful orchard and woodlands of the estate, these self-contained and fully insulated cabins are perfect for reflection, meditation and study away from the many distractions of ordinary life. Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche, Buddhist Meditation Master and the Founder of Gomde UK, personally selected these locations for their tranquility, providing a genuine experience of seclusion.

Monastic support during your solitary retreat

At Gomde UK, we’re fortunate to have seasonal monastic support from our resident Lama, Lama Öser, and esteemed visitors like Lama Tenzin and Khen Rinpoche. When present, they provide invaluable guidance to practitioners of all levels. We hope to continue offering such support under the blessings of Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche, enriching our solo retreatants’ spiritual journey.
