Friday May 31 - Sunday June 2
Each of the main weekend days involves multiple sessions. See below. Feel free to attend as many as you like.
About the weekend retreat
The theme of the retreat is the Four Samgrahavastus: generosity (dana), affectionate speech, beneficial activity and exemplification.
The Buddha taught the Four Samgrahavastus as means of unification of the Sangha. As Buddhists concerned about the Climate and Ecological Emergencies, how can we make use of these teachings to connect with and care for all life?
This weekend led by Shantigarbha, Sanghajata and an experienced Triratna Earth Sangha team will include meditation, ritual, optional group discussion, workshops and Dharma input. All to help us learn to live united as one community and care better for the earth and for ourselves.
Programme

Suggested donation for the whole weekend retreat:
£125 / $155 / €145
or drop in for £50 / $60 / €60 per day.
Like all our events, this retreat is offered by donation rather than charging a compulsory ticket price. We want to do this because we never want money to be an obstacle to taking part in a supportive community, and we know many people are struggling financially in the wake of the pandemic and cost of living crisis. The amount we suggest reflects the huge amount of work and love that goes into putting on events we hope will benefit everyone attending. If you can, please donate today to help us continue with our work and support others to attend who cannot afford to pay. Thank you!
