Padmaloka Retreat Centre

Ordination into the Triratna Buddhist Order is the witnessing of the profound act of Going for Refuge. Going for Refuge involves a total transformation of our being and our relationship with others.

30th of January to 6th of February

During this retreat we’ll be exploring the essential and foundational teachings for a good meditation practice. It is suitable for both those men who are relatively new to Triratna, who have a regular meditation practice and who want to establish it on sound principles, as well as to experienced meditators who wish to breathe new life into their meditation.

It will cover all areas of working in meditation from posture, balanced effort, working on the hindrances, to access concentration, the dhyanas and insight.

The Lineage of Kalyana Mitrata - Going for Refuge retreat - 9th to 16th January

Dear Friends,

I'm afraid to announce that the residential component of the Winter Retreat has had to close this year.
With many places in England now going into a tier 3 lockdown attendance has dropped to a level that has made it infeasible to run the retreat properly.

The online aspect, running in the first week, will continue to run; with three talks by Padmavajra on the Diamond Sutra, meditation instruction from Satyaraja and puja in the evenings, so do consider joining us for this.

If you are booked on the retreat and haven't heard from us yet then do get in touch.
