Greetings of Contentment!
An awareness of gratitude and positive vision is empowering for myself and others. By seeing that which is, in a way that looks for benefit, the attitude of ‘seeing’ benefit loosens the knots of blame, despondency, disheartenment. There is an air of thankfulness, a fresh air of lightness above the clouds.
Satisfaction in myself that I have done my best to be part of the solution, gives me the wings of courage.
Wishing you all the wings of courage and enthusiasm!!!
We have enjoyed the chance to host a few retreats and a few Meditation Programs.
Please see our website for upcoming events and, till we meet again, Namaste.
With kind regards,
from all the 'Wilton Centre Team'

4 July 2020
Greetings of Peace!
In the Peace that is our original state, there is everything included.
Peace is the gateway into the self and to honour the self and nurture the self, Peace is the starting point.
I am a Point of Peace, a point of Light, a Point of Spiritual Energy.
So, do not exclaim, "Oh, What’s the point!" For you yourself, are the Point. …
Well, it has been another month gone by, and slowly the Retreat Centre is again able to host some events for the spiritual sustenance of those who chose to walk the path of self-empowerment through Positive Thinking and Meditation.
When we empower and progress ourselves, we can be more supportive and generous to all.
There are a couple of events that have been added to the website in the normal way, so please have a look.
There are still some limitations due to the official guidelines for public gatherings. As a consequence of these, we may book out on these events quickly.
With kind regards,
from all the 'Wilton Centre Team'
