A Victorious Life: Retreat for Fathers

The Buddha communicated to householders as well as monks. Sangharakshita founded an Order that is neither monastic or lay, where commitment is primary and lifestyle secondary.

Studying the Sigalovada Sutta and Sangharakshita's ‘Being a Buddhist Parent’, we’ll explore what it means to go for refuge to the Three Jewels as a father, with all the demands that life places upon us.

How do we deepen our practice, understanding and friendships to make this a victorious life?

Reception is from 4pm on the day of arrival, with the retreat beginning with supper at 6pm.

While you’re here you will be participating in communal life. This includes meditating with everyone on site in the main shrine room in the morning, taking part in daily tasks and at the end of your retreat you will help us to prepare the retreat centre for the next group to join us.

With this in mind,…
