We have a huge barrel of wine, but no cups - The path of cessation
April 10 - 17, 2026
In much of spiritual culture, we’re encouraged to grow, improve, develop—a path of progress and attainment. But the Buddha also spoke of another way: the path of cessation. A path not of becoming more, but of letting go. Of stopping. Through silence, meditation, reflection, and devotional practice, we’ll discover the freedom offered by the path of cessation—the freedom of letting go. TRIRATNA RETREAT: For regular meditators who attend retreats, a centre or group in Triratna community.
Beauty and Insight - A retreat on perception
October 30 - November 6, 2026
An invitation to look closely at how experience takes shape—how we see, feel, and make meaning of the world around us. We shape the world, just as it shapes us... we are creating our world, we can begin to choose—consciously and creatively—to shape a world of beauty and meaning. The arts offer us new and surprising windows on the world. Alongside Dharma teachings and meditation, we’ll be exploring what art, film, poetry, and music can reveal about the nature of perception. TRIRATNA RETREAT: For regular meditators who attend retreats, a centre or group in Triratna community.
