Upcoming Programs by Vajragupta
Tales of Freedom - Easter Long Weekend
Also With Mokshadarshini
April 2 - 6, 2026
Join us for a long weekend of inspiring stories, with accompanying meditations, reflections, and ritual helping us to unpack the significance of stories for our lives. A story of actual love and selflessness can be deeply moving. A story of fearlessness can help to imagine what living more courageously would be like. And if we can imagine it more fully, there's more chance of that quality flowering in our hearts and minds. TRIRATNA RETREAT: For regular meditators who attend retreats, a centre or group in Triratna community.

Men’s Intensive Meditation Retreat - The Mandala of Awakening
Also With Danakumara
August 7 - 14, 2026
A mandala is a "sacred circle" with Awakening right at the centre. Explore how we can enter this mandala, travel around it, and eventually arrive at the heart of Awakening. We'll consider the qualities - integration, love, renunciation, imagination, spiritual receptivity - that we need to undertake the journey.
