The Flaming Drop 2025 (sub 35 retreat)

The Flaming Drop 2025 (sub 35 retreat)

27 - 29 Jun 2025
Led By: Jayadhi,

For young women and non-binary people.

The Flaming Drop is the representation of the element space, at the very top of the elemental Stupa. On this weekend retreat we will dive into the symbolism of the Stupa, the elemental and archetypal significance and our connection to and relationship with the external and internal manifestations of the elements. The Stupa shows us how our energies manifest in the world, and how the unification and alignment of these energies give us access to them in their most refined forms, Wisdom and Compassion.

This is a weekend retreat for women and non-binary people under 35, led by a team of younger Order members. We will explore the theme through a programme of meditation, ritual, talks, and groups. These weekends have been running for several years and have been a context for people to take their practice further and form lasting connections with others of their age around the Triratna community. Come along and bring your friends.

Please note that during this retreat a new office will be being built (on the opposite side of the carpark to the retreat centre). There will be some noise.

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.
