Retreat for Fathers

Led by Sanghajit and Team

Reception is from 4pm on the day of arrival, with the retreat beginning with supper at 6pm.

‘THE AIM OF THE GREAT BUDDHIST TEACHING OF THE PATH OF VISION AND THE PATH OF TRANSFORMATION IS TO ENABLE US TO BRING THE WHOLE OF OUR LIFE UP TO THE LEVEL OF ITS HIGHEST MOMENTS’ Sangharakshita
After the initial vision or glimpse of ‘the way things are’ comes the task of committing ourselves to a Buddhist Life - a life given over, not only to self-transformation but also the transformation of the world we live in.
This makes the Buddhist Life the most demanding life to live and requires energy, patience and courage.
During this weekend for fathers practicing within the Triratna Community and Order, we will explore how we can practice the path of transformation and be more effective in our own life and the world we inhabit.
A weekend of meditation, puja, discussion, and three talks by Aryajit, Dharmajit, and Sanghajit on their experience of the challenges of trying to take on the path of transformation in their own lives.


The retreat will finish in the afternoon after the clear-up. If traveling on public transport, please book a train after 2.30pm
