What is 'that indefinable element' in your experience?

Explore how we each imagine the Order and being part of it. To what extent does this accord with our experience so far? Bring your imaginal capacity, your open heart and your honest experience to this weekend of getting to know other women on the path in our region.

If you are a GFR mitra in the Midwest Jewel Quest region and haven't received an invitation, please speak with your mitra convenor who can arrange to have your name added to the database.

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.

Suggested donations

Our suggested donations (in addition to the booking fee) for 2024-25 are (waged/unwaged)

  • Weekend retreats (2024: £195 / 135  2025: £200 / £140)
  • Long Weekend (3 nights) (£225 / 160)

There will be an opportunity to make your donation at the end of the retreat.  Donations can be made by credit/debit card, cheque or cash.

Those who cannot afford our suggested donations are free to contribute what they can. 

Running on generosity is radical – thank you for being part of that.
