Activities & Mission

We run a rural Buddhist Retreat Centre, offering residential retreats on Buddhist meditation and Buddhist teaching. We also run weekends and courses in city based Buddhist Centres on request. Local schools ask us to talk to their pupils about Buddhism and some come to us for an weekend experience of retreat living. Our main teachers are all ordained Buddhists with the Triratna Community.
