IF YOU ARE BOOKING AFTER AUGUST 30 AND HAVE A RESTRICTED DIET OTHER THAN GLUTEN FREE, PLEASE CONTACT US ON KITCHEN@TARALOKA.ORG.UK BEFORE BOOKING. UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO THE NUMBER OF RESTRICTED DIETS ALREADY ON THIS RETREAT, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CATER FOR ANY NEW ONES.

Bodhicitta - radical freedom of heart and mind - is a combination of Wisdom and Compassion. In order to wake up we must see through both subject and object into a multidimensional realm of interconnectedness and resonance. On this meditation retreat we will use the strong motivation of wishing complete freedom for all, to help us deepen into compassion and see how radically it can take us beyond our limiting self-view, which is the root cause of suffering.

There are no single rooms left for this retreat, if you'd like to be on the waiting list please email admin@taraloka.org.uk

The retreat will be supported by silence, meditation workshops, led meditations, ritual, time for personal practice and the possibility of meditation reviews.

Vijayamala and Moksanandi have been offering these very popular Order meditation retreats here at Taraloka for many years, and delight in creating the conditions for the Women’s Order to deepen their meditation practice together in this intimate and beautiful setting.

Suggested donation (in addition to the booking fee): £410 waged / £290 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. 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.
