New Year Retreat

28 Dec 2025 - 4 Jan 2026
Led By: Samantabhadri, Aryavandana, Dharmakarunya, Viryanaya
For: Triratna Regulars

Deepen your meditation, practise in the landscape, and enjoy ritual in the presence of beautiful shrines. Delight in the opportunity to relax and simply be with your experience. We will reflect on the old year and welcome the new, particularly through an imaginative evening of devotion.

There will be the support of presentations, meditation reviews, the inspiration of the Dharma …. and of a cheerful, companionable fire each evening.

The retreat will gradually move into about six hours of varied practice each day and about three and a half days of continuous silence. This is surely one of the very best ways to begin the New Year.

Suggested donation (in addition to the booking fee): £365 waged / £250 unwaged

Booking Fee: £85.00

Single Rooms: No single rooms currently available on this retreat. Please email to go on single room waiting list.

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.
