The Wisdoms of Love 2025

14 - 23 Apr 2025
Led By: Maitridevi, Maitrivajri, Pasannacitta, Vajragupta
For: Going for Refuge Mitras, Triratna Order Members

Travel the boundless dimensions of the heart! This intensive meditation retreat explores the wisdoms of the five Prajnas – a set of five archetypal Buddhas in female form – and the way their wisdom perspectives can inform the path and practice of loving-kindness.

This retreat will combine talks, imagery and meditation instruction together with ritual and silence.

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.

Limited single rooms available for this retreat. Please contact admin@taraloka.org.uk before booking.

The female Buddhas of the mandala each offer us a different wisdom: from the mirror-like wisdom of Locana Buddha to the all-accomplishing wisdom of Tara.

Each of these wisdoms can colour and enrich our practice of metta, allowing the heart to become open and radiant. The retreat will include some bodywork and the opportunity for meditation reviews.410

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.
