16 – 19 jan | led by Satyanita, Prakashamitra + Young Order
Dhardo Rinpoche was considered a living Bodhisattva, demonstrating deep inner practice through rigorous training and outer transformation through founding the Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Cultural Institute for refugee children. A manifesto for radical change, his three-part motto ‘Cherish the Doctrine. Live United. Radiate Love’ distils Buddhism’s altruistic spirit. What can this motto, the inspiring example of Dhardo’s life and his friendship with Sangharakshita teach us about sharing the Dharma here and now?
This annual Sub35 Changemakers weekend is for Mitras aged 18-34 who facilitate (or might soon facilitate) young Buddhist activities or who teach (or host) general classes/events at their local centre with young people in regular attendance. The weekend includes talks, discussions and practical workshops.
We’re delighted that The European Triratna Chairs Assembly has provided a generous grant to help make it possible for young Mitras living outside of England & Wales to attend this event in 2025 and 2026. Email Satyanita to ask about a grant to pay towards your travel costs.
To book on this retreat you need to be a Mitra within the Triratna community aged 18-34.
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 travelling on public transport, please book a train after 3pm.
