Definitely will be back.

Lovely and relaxing experience. Found it really helpful to concentrate more on the meditation.

Beautiful centre and lovely meditation classes. Well worth a visit.

A place to support me in my attempt to reach enlightenment.

I am surprised to learn a different perspective about meditation that I have not learned before. Thanks a lot!

I’m really enjoying the sessions. Lots of food for thought and great insights.

I really love the words of wisdom at these retreats. A beautiful peace fills the place with some great guided meditations . A really enjoyable way to spend three hours on a Saturday,highly recommended.

Amazing gave me so much to think about. Really felt a connection and resonance with the teaching. Have been putting it into practice.
Breathing and seeing where my attachment to things which are not in my best interests lay. Looking forward to doing more.

I was rather nervous as I hadn't been to anything like this before. Rob was very welcoming and I felt at ease straight away. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and friendly people.

It was a lovely and intimate retreat with clear concise and wonderful teachings with easy meditations to concentrate on. We felt well looked after and had everything we needed.

Was a nice introduction into meditation techniques, a warm atmosphere and everyone very friendly.

First visit and experience of meditation in Epping centre. Very good and given me a detailed understanding why I was having problems of clearing mind

Excellent retreat, highly beneficial.

A really nice atmosphere was created at the session that I attended and I hope to be back again soon.

I always feel so much better after a visit to your Buddhist centre.
Thank you I love the half day retreats and the Monday sessions in Billericay too.
It keeps me on the right path.
Thank you. X
