Location

Dentdale is a valley of contrasts, from cobbled streets and old stone houses to open fells, wooded valleys, waterfalls and tumbling streams. The Meditation Centre is situated at the top end of the village and its location makes an ideal venue for rest and relaxation.

Testimonials

"The Meditation Centre in Dent is an oasis of calm in the geographic centre of the British Isles. I warmly recommend this place."

Martin Rayner, Director of Lakeland Limited,
Windermere

"I discovered the Meditation Centre in Dent while walking in the area. Just being in that tranquil space brought a feeling of comfort and I decided to learn to meditate. The teaching was inspiring and meditation is now a part of my daily life . . . it gives me inner strength, calmness and a sense of peace."
