The Revolutionary Heart (People of Colour) 2026

12 - 19 Jun 2026
Led By: Amaragita, Maitrinita, Jayasuri
For: Triratna Regulars

This retreat is a sacred turning,
A gentle unfolding of the heart-mind—
An opening into freedom,
A path of insight
lit from within.

What does it mean to have a revolutionary heart?

When so much of our life experiences are dominated by endless wanting, the drive to dislike, and the choice to ignore.
Sangharakshita describes the awakened heart as fearless in transcending all conditions:

‘…. Loves where there is no reason to love, is happy where there is no reason for happiness, creates where is no possibility of creativity….’ (Mind Reactive, Mind Creative)

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.
