I’ve been to two retreats at Global retreat centre. I stayed over two night on one retreat. I just want to say that it was 5* accommodation and wonderful food.. the talks were full of BKs wisdom and lighthearted fun. I came away feeling lighter in my heart and soul. I really changed my outlook on a lot of parts of my life and really feel grateful that this charity is doing such great retreats. The BKs work tirelessly and quietly in community all over the world.. empowering people to be the best versions of themselves. If you haven’t experienced this, yet, check out the schedule and book onto a day retreat.. excellent!
I really love visiting GRC. There is such a peaceful, calm unhurried vibe here. I always feel more connected to myself and others after my visit. The teachings are so honest and full of love. It's my happy place. Thank you all at GRC for making a committrment to serve mankind. 🙏
Life changing meditation course over 4 Wednesdays in August 23 with Mina. Cannot recommend this enough for beginners or experienced meditators
Have so much enjoyed the wonderful peaceful gardens at GRC and everyone I have met there has been kind and welcoming.
Was fortunate of being invited to their open day after a long wait for a full refurbishment to be completed! what a remarkable day, nice to see the sisters again, a joyous occasion, meditation maze was enlightening, wishing tree, self worth mirrors, talks, literature, and much more, all very inspiring. I have been here many times on day retreats, found to be calming, soul searching in such a peaceful enviournment, The sisters are pure love, I love them dearly
Wondering if this place exists on this earth in this time, I thought it's only during the Golden Age...
I love GRC anyway because it is my new birth place. Now that it has been refurbished, I would give 7 stars - if possible. I felt filled with a soft & gentle feeling of contentment and peace.
A very peaceful location with large grounds and an all round tranquil atmosphere. A must visit if in Oxford
A beautiful place in door and out door. Stunning gardens and old building full of history. Place where you can have peaceful experience and be in a relaxing atmosphere.
This is a very cute mansion in hearts of Oxford countryside. Entering into the place you could sense peace and calmness. If you are coming to Oxford I would highly recommend to visit this place. It is not only very beautiful and majestic but magical too with spiritual powers in the air.

One of the best place in the world to explore, experience and empower our own self. They say "Seeing is Believing", I do not have words to describe anything and everything about this place.

The atmosphere of this place very calm. The sisters and brothers whom live there are very helpful towards vistors who come. The nature surrounding the place makes it a great place to meditate and get your mind off things .

Oxford is not only known for the international acclaimed academic institution and as the headquarters of an international development NGO also. By its countryside is a global retreat centre of an international renowned spiritual university. Have been in virtual regular contact since long way before its essential renovations. On top of wish list for actual physical in person visit.* Marrio Mapanao, Mindanao, Philippines
To enjoy this venue go to the website and book for the opportunity to visit the Palladian Mansion and beautiful grounds plus be entertained in many ways! 23/7/23 open day is a must.

Bu dünyaya ölmek ve yeni bir yaşama merhaba demek mümkün. Üstelik bunu yapabileceğiniz bir de cennet mevcut. Ben bir ay kadar sefasını sürdüm, yenilendim ve şifalandım. Kısmetinizde varsa size de nasip olsun dilerim.
*****5STAR. Global Retreat Center Posts are about to 🎇God. ❤️🎇❤️Excellent Posts.
I have been coming here more years than I care to think about- it's a wonderful place, with even more wonderful people. I have always had difficulty meditating before I came here, and they sorted that out for me no problem. I can never thank you enough- especially Matthew, who was really helpful.
Thought for Today
Think First
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Whatever I do, when all is said and done, I do for or to myself. Perhaps I should think before I perform actions because after the seed of action is sown I have to reap the fruit. Moreover, I do not receive only one fruit for every seed sown, I often get a whole crop, good or bad according to the action or seed.
