Booking Info

Most events are Order retreats, though there are some open to Mitras and people familiar with Triratna meditation practices. You can click on individual events to find out more and to book.

We sometimes have events running concurrently. We also hold events at Adhisthana other than those on this calendar (such as local sangha retreats and various meetings).
