The Art of Concentration In-Person Retreat - 16th-23rd May 2025
|
Dear friends, I would like to invite you to a special 7day retreat I am hosting in Portugal. I will be teaching the intermediate to advanced level concentration practices up to the point of entry into absorption. These will be the practices that I will be developing in session 2 of our year long online “Art of Concentration “ course and it is a wonderful opportunity to sit as a small intimate group with me where I will be able to give personal guidance and support to your practice in a way that is not possible on our other retreats. Practicing like this in an intensive supported retreat environment can develop and deepen our relationship and experience with these subtle teachings much more than is possible at home in the daily life. The venue is a beautifully peaceful and supportive environment ideal for undistracted immersion into deep practice. With maximum 18 people this retreat will be a smaller group than most UK retreats giving me the opportunity to provide much more personal guidance during daily interviews and questions and answers sessions. The retreat will run from Friday 16th - Friday 23rd May 2025. All rooms are ensuite, with a choice of single (£650) or twin share (£450). To register and for more details please visit this webpage -
with much love Burgs |

I have been reflecting much over the last couple of months about why it was I had to unpublish so much of the material I had shared over recent years and how sad I felt about that when now seems to be such an important time to be offering support, guidance, inspiration and...
Greetings everyone. I hope this update from me finds you all well. I am writing to you to tell you about our plans for the summer ahead and to announce the opening of 'Brahma Vihara', our beautiful and magical new retreat centre in North Portugal. It has been my aspiration for many years to one day be able to create a dedicated "Seat of Dharma" that could become the centre point of the work we do at AoM to give people an authentic opportunity to immerse themselves in Dharma practice and...
Dear friends, Last year I ran a new online retreat called “The Energetics Spiritual Self-care”. It is a theme that I have felt emerging with greater importance over the past few years and one that I feel has become fundamental to not just our spiritual path but our whole life more broadly. During the course of this year, I could see that those coming to sit and learn meditation with me were all in need of these teachings, and so I wish to share them again, as I feel that they are so relevant...
