DharmaLife Course for Young Women

16 March – 4 July 2025

A four-month residential course providing you with an opportunity to live an intensive dharma life: living, practising, studying, and working together within the context of Adhisthana. 

Over 16 weeks you’ll receive a grounding in the principles and practice of Triratna Buddhism through retreats, study with experienced teachers and communal living. You’ll also participate in the life of the wider Adhisthana sangha: meditating together, performing ritual, developing kalyana mitrata and joining in with regular work periods as a spiritual practice. 

The course is aimed at women under the age of 35 who are mitras or who have asked for ordination. In previous courses, often half of the participants have come from outside the UK. In the past, many people have fundraised within their local Sangha to meet the cost of the course and we can offer some bursaries where needed. While the courses are for women or men we have had several non-binary people do the course in the past – get in touch if you’re interested and we can talk about which course might be the best fit.
