Gathering Generosity (Online)

Led by Ambaranta + Alobhin + Nagadipa + friends

Gathering to rejoice in Triratna volunteers, celebrating generosity and practicing together as an International community. Together we will explore "What happens when we give?", not as an abstract idea but as something lived and realised.

Daily offerings include meditation, dedication, rejoicing and celebrating generosity, spontaneous offerings, conversations that explore generosity, talks, devotional practice and transference of merit.

We encourage you to participate in the retreat as it is happening and encourage you to look after yourself when using technology for online retreats. Take plenty of breaks from direct screen time. You will be able to playback, catch up and relive some elements of the retreat by following our website links on the Playback Offerings page.
