Young Adults Retreats are events of inquiry and exploration dedicated to those aged 19 to 35 interested in coming together to look into fundamental questions of life.
These events are an invitation for participants to discover a new way of living. With silence, nature and dialogue at the core of the retreats, guests sustain an inquiry into issues of everyday life that concern and connect us all.
Topics covered during the retreats touch on fundamental aspects of Krishnamurti’s teachings, themes that resonate deeply across generations, such as love, loneliness, freedom, society and meditation.
All meals are vegetarian, with a vegan option. Volunteer positions are available to help run these and other events at the Centre.
