Elemental Immersion 2025

21 Feb - 2 Mar 2025
Led By: Maitridevi, Candrika, Sanghamani, Sukhasiddhi
For: Going for Refuge Mitras, Triratna Order Members

If we are to Awaken then we need to re-imagine what we are; to allow that we are far more than what we normally assume. We need to understand that we are not separate beings but rather embedded, entangled and participative in a much bigger world. One way to re-imagine what we are is through contemplation of the six elements.

‘I would go so far as to say that a universe conceived of as dead cannot be a universe in which one stands any chance of attaining Enlightenment. (Whether you stand any chance in a living universe is of course up to you.)’ Sangharakshita: Living with Awareness.

The six elements – solidity, fluidity, temperature, movement, space and consciousness. – are beautiful qualities which offer us the possibility of an unbounded love as they bring us into an infinitely extensive kinship with everything; changing our relationship to life, world and universe.

Intensive meditation retreat including meditation reviews.

Paying for your retreat

Taraloka runs on generosity.

To book a retreat you pay a booking fee. This is the only charge made for coming on retreat. As far as possible, we don’t want anyone’s financial situation to stop them from coming to Taraloka.

At the end of your retreat, you have the opportunity to give money towards Taraloka. If you are able to donate, you are giving to another person who otherwise could not afford to come on retreat. And you are helping to give the gift of Taraloka to the women of the future.

We have suggested donations as these reflect the basic income needed to make a retreat viable. However, they are only suggestions. It is genuinely fine to give ten times these amounts, nothing, or anything in between.

Running on generosity is radical – thank you for being part of that.
