Theravada Dhamma Retreat, 23rd to 29th March. Explore teachings attributed to the historical Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, including The Four Noble Truths, The Threefold Training, Threefold Refuge, Dukkha, Anicca, Anatta and more, and how understanding and practice support a deeper Refuge. Retreatants work on developing their natural, mindful, calm-abiding, meditative practice.
Mahayana, Seven-Point Mind Training, 22nd to 28th June. A dedicated practice exploring core Buddha Dharma teachings on the stage-by-stage training technique attributed to Atisha, including histories and Lineage pathways, preliminary contemplations, Bodhicitta, Metta, Tonglen, Vajrasattva healing transformation, and more. These teachings foster the union of mindfulness and meditation, supporting the cultivation of the heart for awakening and the wisdom of our mature, cultivated, compassionate ways of being in the world.
Metta Meditation Retreat, 3rd to 9th August. Cultivating an open, friendly, and benevolent attitude toward oneself and all beings. Through graduated practice, our natural Metta state matures, nurtured by heartfelt feelings of understanding, warmth, and goodwill for our own and others’ experiences and the realities of this world. Metta is a warm, strong heart and a deepened sense of love, kindness, bond and kinship with the broader web of life.
Vajrayana Retreat, 23rd to 29th November. Vajrayāna, the Tibetan Buddhist vehicle, weaves a tapestry of our love for the sacred and the dance of hearts and minds into compassionate activity, embedding it into the living memory of our humanity through visualisation, symbolism, ceremony, story, and history. Retreatants receive guidance in preparing for and participating in the Wongkur (ceremonial empowerment) of a Deva from the Tibetan Pantheon, along with Sadhana meditation and personal practice.
