                               ~~~~~~~~~~
     Gaia House was founded in 1984 to provide an environment for the 
  practice of insight meditation. The retreat center is set in the quiet 
  countryside of South Devon and provides a full program of group 
  retreats together with facilities for individual practice throughout 
  the year. Regular group sittings are scheduled every day and silence 
  is maintained. The peace and beauty of Gaia House offers a sanctuary 
  of calm stillness which welcomes all people who wish to explore the 
  heart of understanding and freedom.
                                            
                      Insight Meditation Retreats
                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     These meditation retreats (known as "vipassana" in the Buddhist 
  tradition) aim to free the mind from distortions and 
  self-centeredness, negativity and confusion. Balanced awareness 
  grounded in the present moment leads to stillness and a growing 
  understanding of the nature of life, from which wisdom and compassion 
  emerge.
     
                           Solitary Retreats
                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     There is a long-standing tradition of conscious and concerned 
  people finding time in their lives for silence, stillness and 
  meditative awareness without the constant presence of a teacher. The 
  opportunity for women and men to spend time alone in a supportive 
  environment is a rare and precious experience....Guiding teachers 
  are available during personal self-retreats and retreatants are encouraged 
  to meet with them for an interview at least once a week. Potential 
  personal retreatants need to have the agreement of one of the guiding 
  teachers before undertaking an extended retreat. Previous meditation 
  experience is also required.
