Women's Area Order Weekend | Love Song to the Earth

Led by Maitridevi, Mahamani, Maitrisiddhi + Vimokshini

This weekend will be dedicated to an exploration of the living earth – literally and poetically – in our practice. We will be exploring ground and depth in the imagination and considering what a Buddhist animism might look like.

There will be a simple programme of talks, meditation, rituals, contemplative time in nature and discussion groups.

‘I would go so far as to say that a universe conceived of as dead cannot be a universe in which one stands any chance of attaining Enlightenment’ - Sangharakshita, Living with Awareness

Reception is from 4pm on the day of arrival, with the retreat beginning with supper at 6pm.

The retreat will finish in the morning after the clear-up. If traveling on public transport, please book a train after 3pm.
