Retreat Type: 

What is the Buddha's teaching on compassion?  How can we have compassion for ourselves in our daily lives?  How can we nourish ourselves while caring for others and responding to the world's suffering?  Explore these questions through meditation, talks, discussions and workshops in the light of the science of compassion and current neuroscience.

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.
