On Whose Shoulders We Stand | Women's Area Order Weekend

Led by a team of Dharmacarinis

A weekend dedicated to women practitioners who have paved the way for us to practice, from the time of the Buddha to our Triratna elders (women ordained by Bhante). There will be a talk on women in the Buddha’s time, a conversation with two of our elders and short talks from women over ten years in the Order, along with meditation, puja, group discussion and time to see old and new friends.

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 3pm.
