Retreats offer the chance to break out of our usual routines and get a fresh perspective on our life. We can explore meditation and Buddhism much more deeply than is usually possible in an evening class at the Buddhist Centre, and build and deepen connections and friendships with others. These retreats are suitable for anyone who has already completed our Introduction to Buddhist meditation course, unless specified otherwise.

It’s easy in meditation to not quite know where we are or what we’re trying to do. The model of the hindrances and antidotes gives a clear experiential roadmap for exploring and deepening. In this settling of the body/heart/mind we are encouraging conditions that allow insights to arise.
Experiential meditation workshops, beautiful surroundings, ritual, opportunity for connection with ourselves and each other.
A weekend retreat is a great opportunity to dive a little deeper and spend more time in practice with others.

MANDALA OF AWAKENING: BIRMINGHAM SANGHA RETREAT 2024
With Abhayadhara, Maitrisara and friends
26th July – 2 August 2024
Open to anyone who has completed an introductory course at the Centre
The journey to Awakening can be depicted as a mandala – a sacred circle. This mandala gives us an overview of the different areas of spiritual practice we are traversing.

We will spend the retreat looking at the different aspects in turn: integration, positive emotion, spiritual death or insight, spiritual rebirth and receptivity. These five elements combine together to form a complete system of practice distinctive to the Triratna tradition. They can be approached sequentially or simultaneously.
There will be meditation, creative workshops, ritual, discussion groups and presentations.
The retreat will be held at Adhisthana which is Triratna’s international home base. Adhisthana has a great deal of mythic significance for our Movement and is a wonderful place for a retreat.
Being on retreat is a wonderful way to deepen our practice and strengthen the relationships within the sangha and we’d love you to join us. For any more details, talk to a member of the Centre team.
