Milarepa: Rechungpa’s Journey to Weu | Seminar Retreat

30 May – 6 june | led by Maitreyi + Paramartha

Milarepa’s relationship with his heart-son Rechungpa is emblematic of a profound spiritual connection and ‘Rechungpa’s Journey to Weu’ reveals the all too human nature of the disciple meeting the wisdom and compassion of his patient teacher. Maitreyi and Paramartha will unfold a story told with humour, irony and pathos, drawing on themes recognisable to anyone who has ever seriously tried to live a spiritual life.

MAitREYI

Maitreyi se ordenó en 1989, el primer año en que las mujeres fueron ordenadas por mujeres en Occidente. En 1997 se incorporó al equipo de Tiratanaloka, donde dirige los retiros de formación de mujeres para la ordenación. Desde entonces, es Preceptora Privada y Pública y presidenta de Akashavana, el centro de retiros de ordenación para mujeres.

Paramartha

One of Sangharakshita’s closest friends, Paramatha lived with him for many years, including during Bhante’s time at Adhisthana. He now lives close by, and brings his wealth of knowledge and personal connection to the Teaching Community, handing on a part of Sangharakshita’s legacy that few others could do.

Seminar Retreats offer an intimate setting to look in-depth at Bhante’s exposition of key texts, bring us closer to the mind behind the teaching, and understand their relevance to our lives and practice. Places are very limited so book early.

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

While you’re here you will be participating in communal life. This includes meditating with everyone on site in the main shrine room in the morning, taking part in daily tasks and at the end of your retreat you will help us to prepare the retreat centre for the next group to join us.

With this in mind, the retreat will finish after the clear-up, so if traveling on public transport, please book a train after 11am.
