Gardening Days January 2025
For those who regularly attend retreats, a centre or a group within the context of the Triratna Buddhist Community. You will be familiar with Taraloka and the Mindfulness of Breathing, Metta Bhavana and the Sevenfold Puja as taught within the Triratna Buddhist Community. By invitation only: please only book if invited or agreed by Suryahridaya who is leading these days. Thank you.
An opportunity to give of your time and energy and contribute to the creation & maintenance of the beautiful gardens of Taraloka. Join the flow of generosity which has co-created Taraloka over decades. Celebrating our 40th anniversary, your help will be building on these strong traditions as we prepare Taraloka for the next 40 years.
The garden needs a lot of work, and the retreat centre is empty during these days so it’s a perfect opportunity to get cracking! Do join us for any days within these dates that suit you – you could come for just a day or for all of them. Bear in mind that this is not a retreat – we work in the garden and eat lunch together during the day, and there are no led meditations or rituals. You are of course very welcome to use the Tara Cabin or Shrine Room.
Food and accommodation is provided, and there will be a variety of jobs to choose from, but you will need to be physically fit and able.Please bring stout working shoes/boots, waterproofs and clothes you can get messy in, also your own gloves if you want to. We do have spares of most things if this is not possible for you.
If you are interested in coming, and have not been invited, please email suryahridaya@taraloka.org.uk.
If you are coming but not for the whole time, please email with the days you are planning to be here at the same time as making a booking.
Booking Fee: £0.00
