Join us for a one-day retreat, held at Seacroft Village Hall, where we’ll explore the art of shamatha (sometimes simply called ‘concentration’) meditation — an ancient practice designed to calm the mind and arouse focus and clarity.

What is Shamatha?
Shamatha, or “calm abiding,” is a practice that helps you develop focus, ease, and mental clarity. By learning to settle the agitations of the mind, you can experience a deep sense of relaxation and alertness, creating space for emotional balance and inner peace.

Harder Than The Rock chronicles the incredible journey of Britain's first reggae band, Cimarons. Formed by teenage Jamaican immigrants in a London bus shelter in 1967, the band were at the forefront of the reggae explosion in the 1970s. Thousands of miles from Jamaica, they brought excitement, experimentation, and sheer anticipation to Black British youth, connecting them to their roots and identity through their powerful music.
