- Four meals are served- breakfast, lunch, tea/light snack and a light supper
- Comprehensive, practical instructions and talks on active and passive meditation are offered daily

The Kukikan Retreat environment, with its simple yet nourishing lifestyle has been developed and designed to support and enhance your meditation practice. Where, “Silence” is the easiest part of the retreat.
When we begin meditation practice and come on a retreat, a structure is not only beneficial but essential. The schedule including daily instructions and teachings provides the indispensable support to start investigating the mind. Though the techniques taught are quite simple, it isn’t always easy to practice all day, and having others around following the same schedule helps keep us going.
