New retreats at The Barn

For nearly 40 years, The Barn Retreat at Sharpham has been a place of stillness, simplicity, and heartfelt community. Thousands have come through our gates to rest, reconnect with nature, learn about Buddhism, and rediscover what truly matters. 

The Barn has always been a place of gentle transformation, inviting its community to deepen into what truly supports awakening, connection, and care for the world.

In the midst of the challenges facing the world at this time, we are proud to offer this range of themed retreats which will support the cultivation of qualities that will serve all beings well:
