Sub30 Weekend | Buddhism, World Peace and Nuclear War

27 – 29 November | led by Ksantikara + Maitriyogini

The world is facing problems that can seem insurmountable: war, ecological collapse, political breakdown, the erosion of trust, truth, and meaning. The scale of it can feel overwhelming.

But we are not helpless. We have a responsibility to act, not from fear or outrage, but from clarity, solidarity, and an uncompromising commitment to what’s true.

What would it take to live—and act—with clarity, non-violence, and a commitment to what is true, rather than what is convenient or comfortable, to stand for the whole of humanity, not just our corner of it?

We cannot face the problems of the world without acknowledging what drives them—greed, hatred, and ignorance—and face these forces within ourselves. Even if we overcome these forces on a global scale, our success will be incomplete unless we also face the deeper, universal challenge of death. What kind of life becomes possible when we recognise what’s truly at stake?

We’ll explore a genuinely radical response to the state of the world in an immersive setting with meditations, talks, silence, discussions and Buddhist ritual. Suitable for everyone aged 18-30.

The weekend is followed by the Nature of Existence seminar. Why not enjoy a six-day retreat and stay for this too?
