Men's Area Order Weekend

Longing for the Further Shore - The Vertical Dimension in Spiritual Life


Following on from the exploration of the private and public ordinations at our last Area Order weekend in November, we will look at the importance of the vertical dimension in our spiritual life and practice.
Lokeshvara will talk about the need for myth and explore the archetype of the monarch and Saccanama will talk about the importance of faith.
The weekend is being hosted by the Adhisthana men’s chapters and we look forward to seeing many of you here.
