Groups + Pioneers

Led by Aparajita, Maitripa, Hridayagita + Pramudita

For those involved in helping to run Triratna groups in the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe and beyond. A chance to connect with others engaged in similar projects, sharing ideas and inspiration, benefiting from some training and rejuvenating our enthusiasm for this important and heroic work. More details to follow. As you probably tell your sangha members, the important thing is just to turn up!

Following last year, the Groups and Pioneers 2025 weekend is being held at the same time as the Changemakers weekend for young people.

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.
