Picture of Sunatha

Hello! My name's Sunatha, and I'm a happy protector (that's what my name means in Pali and Sanskrit). I'm a recently ordained member of Triratna, actively involved in my centre in Newcastle. I also work in chaplaincy, and am a handy-man! 

The Great Outdoors is a place I enjoy spending time in, retreating to the wilds of north-west Scotland, as well as exploring the ex-industrial hinterlands of the north-east of England. I think we find 'nature' everywhere, from the cracks in paving slabs in an inner-city estate, to the wild edge of the seashore. Buddhism helps me open to all this life, and help care for it too.

Retreat Type:
Going Deeper

Immerse yourself in nature this spring - stepping back from the pressures of everyday life and giving yourself time and space in the wild and beautiful landscapes surrounding Dhanakosa. 

Discover how time in nature can support a deepening of meditation and Buddhist practice - encouraging a sense of aliveness in a living world and reflecting core teachings of impermanence and inter-connection. 

In this retreat we take our meditation practice outdoors - awakening our senses to the different elements of the surrounding landscape and cultivating a deeper sense of connection with ourselves, others and with the natural world. We will explore how our relationship with nature, landscape, and the elements can support a more embodied and easeful approach to life. 

Going Deeper retreats are an ideal first regulars’ retreat. They are suitable for anyone who has already done an introductory retreat or who has been regularly attending their local Triratna centre and wants to take things deeper. For more information, read the retreat information sheet
