An opportunity for the women Kalyanasri privately ordained to spend time with her and with each other - by invitation only.

'It seems to me that we can regard the whole Spiritual Path as consisting of five great Stages.  One just intensifies one's effort in those five directions all the time. Then one simply can’t go wrong'.

 Mind's Release

A retreat for women aged 70 and over who have asked or are considering asking for Ordination. 

An opportunity for inspiration and deepening commitment on the path to effective Going for Refuge and the Mind's Release as offered in Triratna.

A Buddha seated under every tree...

 A line taken from a poem by Bhante inspires us to explore our connection with the Earth, natural world and Dharma. How do we find a way to respond imaginatively and connect with a universe that is alive?

We invite you to join us for a spacious weekend of practice, ritual, and sharing together - hopefully spending more time outdoors in the lovely grounds of Tiratanaloka. 

CREATING SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY 
Women’s Weekend Retreat at Tiratanaloka 
Friday April 29th - Sunday May 1st 

“You should recollect lovely friends thus: a gain to me it is indeed! 
Well gotten indeed by me it is, that I have lovely friends, compassionate, 
desirous of my welfare, who encourage and exhort me. “ 

‘The cosmic refuge tree represents in vivid, detailed symbolic form the whole conception of refuge, in its historical background, universal perspective and its immediate practical application.  It is one of the richest and most complex symbols in the whole field of Tantric Buddhism, a symbol that would repay the study of a lifetime.’

- Sangharakshita

We are looking forward to meeting in person as a region.

Amitabha and the Colour of Love

Amitabha can be associated with this time of year when leaves turn red and the 'season of mists and mellow fruitfulness' is on us.   Amitabha offers everything we need - can we open to that much love?  Our wants will never be satisfied, but our longings can be met in the warm sunset realm of Amitabha.

Come along with as much red as you've got  (clothes, offerings, lippy, nail varnish...) - and don't forget to bring your hungry ghost!
