Padmacandra

Padmacandra (Pippa Meek) first attended a retreat with Wolf at the Door many moons ago, led by Ananda and Manjusvara. She says “I felt suddenly at home: able to be myself and happily anonymous at the same time. For me poetry is a state of mind that I aspire to abide in. Poetry seems to come from being embodied in the world – open to the senses as if for the first time”. Padmacandra’s poems have been widely published in magazines and in 2002 she edited, with much help from others, The Heart as Origami, an anthology of contemporary Buddhist Poets (Rising Fire Press).

A Buddhist writing retreat, exploring imagination through pen, paper - and the spaces in between… Is it possible to allow things be just as they are, bringing kindness and curiosity to our experience? Are we open to follow the golden thread of whatever happens, and discover where it leads? Wolf at the Door writing workshops are woven with the Dharma and laced with the unexpected. TRIRATNA RETREAT: For regular meditators who attend retreats, a centre or group in Triratna community. NO WRITING EXPERIENCE NECESSARY
