Sadhana Convention | Immersion Retreat

11 – 18 September | led by Vessantara + Team

Sadhana is a rich, deep and multi-faceted form of meditation practice that can help us contact and deepen the qualities of all six perfections. There are many ways of approaching it, suitable for different types of practitioners and levels of experience. Once we make it our own, it can become the cutting edge of our practice and a source of guidance and support for life.

For this third Sadhana Convention, we’re again inviting all of you who practise sadhana — or would like to revive your practice — to a gathering of the sadhana clans: an opportunity to meet with other Order members to share experiences, learnings, difficulties and enthusiasms, questions and inspirations.

We’ll have opportunities to practise our own sadhanas and to participate in kula groups with others who have the same yidam. We’ll also be able to experience being led in some of the major sadhanas we practise in the Order by people with decades of experience.

To add to this rich mixture, Vessantara will explore some of the principles and practicalities of sadhana and yidam practice through presentations and guided meditations. An experienced team will also be on hand to discuss any aspects of sadhana you wish to explore — from mantra to Madhyamaka.

We aim to make this an event that gives you fresh inspiration, understanding and insight to take into your sadhana practice, as well as making or strengthening your links with other people who practise the same sadhana or sadhanas.
