Parami

This popular retreat is held over a particularly reflective time of year. It offers an opportunity to look back over the previous year and to anticipate the next - with meditation, discussion, Dharma study and a big ritual on New Year’s Eve.

This retreat is for Mitras practicing within the Triratna Buddhist Community who wish to deepen their Buddhist practice and who have been on at least one week-long retreat.

Join our popular New Year retreat online for 2020. We are sad not to be able to welcome you here at Dhanakosa but confident we can have a meaningful and connecting experience online with a good balance of input all together and in smaller groups with time offline to reflect and recoup.

Join our popular New Year retreat online for 2021 with Parami, Acharasraddha, Moksadhi and team. The theme will be exploring the mandala of the five Buddha’s. We will still be able to ‘meet’ in groups as well as being all together for meditations, talks and other input. And we will of course have our traditional ritual to say goodbye to 2021 and welcome to 2022.

The retreat will start at 7.30pm on Tuesday 28th December 2021 and conclude at 5.30pm on Sunday January 2nd 2022.

This retreat is based on conversations that Parami held with Sangharakshita over a few months in 2015 and 2016. We will be doing the practices as revised in those conversations. Sangharakshita suggested that any retreats on these practices would not be purely meditation retreats but be held within a context of appropriate study and devotion.

This retreat is for members of the Triratna Buddhist Order. For more information read the retreat information sheet.

In his 1979 talk on Padmasambhava, Sangharakshita said "we mustn't think of 'demons' as mythological.... You're living in a world of demons": economic; social; political. In our troubled, complex world it is hard to recognise and face these 'demons'.  This retreat will explore some of the demons of our age and time, both inner and outer. Through meditation, ritual, talks and group work we hope to face and transform them, going forward with renewed energy, strength and inspiration.
