In the charity's own words
Buddhafield organises retreats, held under canvas, where people can live simply and close to nature whilst engaging in meditation and the Buddha's teachings. We own land to hold retreats on, and to further the connection with living close to the earth. We teach meditation and Buddhism at festivals.
