Can I smoke or vape?

We are a meat-free, smoke-free, drug and alcohol-free retreat centre. By coming here you are undertaking not to consume recreational drugs, alcohol, or to smoke or eat meat or fish. Those who do need to smoke - including vaping - are asked to do so off the premises. Please get in touch if any of this is an issue for you.

Can I use my phone, laptop or tablet on retreat?

On retreat we deepen our Dharma practice, and to do this it is important to set up good conditions. To make the most of being on retreat it is important you do not bring work with you, so please complete any work you have before arriving.

We also ask that you leave behind newspapers, music and anything external to the retreat generally. If you want to read, we suggest you bring something ‘inspirational’, rather than something 'distracting'. We have a Dharma library at Tiratanaloka that you are welcome to use whilst here, and a well stocked bookshop for purchases.

Regional Order Weekend

A chance for local dharmacharinis to practise together. Maitrijyoti will be sharing some material from recent ‘Body of Bliss’ retreats - finding and exploring creative ways into samadhi, with an emphasis on finding pleasure and enjoyment in our meditation practice. The weekend is likely to include some Dharma input, meditation, gentle bodywork and - elements permitting - some outdoor ritual.
