27 – 30 NOV | led by Amalasri + Prakashamitra
To experience the ultimate freedom offered by the Dharma, we have to bring ourselves on board wholeheartedly. How do we contact the unconscious, non-rational depths and harness this latent energy to transform the world?
The Vimalakirtinirdesa – a cosmic Mahayana sutra – is a portal into the realm of imagination, myth and symbol; a rallying cry for clear thinking and clarity. Drawing on this richly colourful text, we’ll uncover the relationship between the total liberation of the individual and a commitment to growing alongside others.
A perfect weekend to experience Buddhist practice in an immersive setting with meditations, talks, silence, discussions and Buddhist ritual – all led by a team of young Order members. If you’re aged 18-30, new to Buddhism or have been practising for some time – this retreat is for you!

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.
