Depth and Mystery: Retreat for Fathers

Led by Sanghajit, Aryajit, Dharmajit and Sam

Join the Triratna Fathers team on a retreat exploring the nature of mind and ineffable Nirvana.

'Love... is no mere flabby sentiment but the vigorous expression of an imaginative identification with other living beings.' (Sangharakshita, The Ten Pillars of Buddhism)

Many fathers will be familiar with Sangharakshita's vision of the 'love mode', yet living in loving awareness can just as easily allude us. Over this weekend, the Fathers Sangha will be exploring how to more closely get in touch this ideal. Come join us in the beautiful and moving setting of Adhisthana.

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 traveling on public transport, please book a train after 3pm.
