Retreat Type:

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 perspectivescan inform the path and practice of loving-kindness.

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

*Please read and ensure you are able to comply with Taraloka's COVID 19 precautions BEFORE booking your retreat. *

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.

Suggested donation (in addition to the booking fee): £405 waged / £285 unwaged

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. We want Taraloka retreats to be available to any woman, whatever her financial situation.

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 woman 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.
