18 – 27 July | led by Vidyamala, Sanghadeva, Prajnanita + Luke Doherty
A new offering to the Adhisthana programme, this retreat will be an intensive immersion in the Dharma life. Many of us long for more intensity and discipline in our discursive and busy lives. This retreat aims to meet that longing.
There will be a full programme running 5am-9pm each day with short breaks for work periods, meals and limited free time. The daily schedule will include sitting and walking meditation, silence, meditation reviews (both individual and group), ritual and physical exercise. The team will include a physical trainer to provide daily sessions of cardio exercise as well as yoga and Tai Chi teachers to provide more meditative forms of physical training. This means the retreat will provide a workout for the body as well as the heart/mind. The retreat leaders will provide a space for challenge and intensity alongside the signature Triratna qualities of warmth, metta and sangha.
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 11am.
