Groups and Pioneers

Led by Development Team

Every major Buddhist Centre started as a small spark—an idea in a living room or a rented hall. If you are holding that space for a local group, or preparing to launch one, you are a pioneer. This retreat is your opportunity to step back, reconnect with your vision, and find the resources to make it sustainable. Feel welcome to come with the team you are building your sangha with.

Held in parallel with the Young Buddhist Changemakers retreat, this is a unique chance to tap into the collective energy of Triratna and build lasting connections with peers from the UK and Europe.

Questions? Get in touch with Alicia at groups@triratnadevelopment.org.

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.
