Mind in Harmony

23 - 30 Nov 2025
Led By: Taravandana, Carunalaka
For: Mitras

So often we want to live with ease, freedom and creativity – but find ourselves in very different mental states. How can we navigate our way to greater levels of contentment, peace and freedom? Study and meditate on Subhuti’s Mind In Harmony – an accessible, practical and encouraging guide on how to know and transform our inner lives.

A  study and meditation retreat, based on Subhuti’s book Mind in Harmony.

Sometimes our minds can feel complex or confused, and it’s hard to know what’s going on.  Sometimes we know what our mental states are – but how do we work with them?  Mind in Harmony gives us a spiritual map of the contents of the heart and mind – a practical toolkit to bring clarity, awareness and kindness to our experience.

A handbook on Buddhist psychology for anyone seriously interested in getting to know and transforming their minds, Mind in Harmony is based on the Abidharma and is informed by Sangharakshita’s commentary on the same material Know your Mind.

On this retreat, through short talks, discussion groups, meditation, ritual and silence we will be:

  • Relaxing and taking our practice of mindfulness and loving kindness deeper
  • Exploring what we find in our minds
  • Finding out more about the families of mental events that occur in the mind and how to work with these creatively.

Before the retreat please read Subhuti’s Mind in Harmony.

You may wish to study it using the Dharma Training Year 4 Study Materials available on Free Buddhist Audio.

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.
