Mahamudra Mandala Retreat
Entering the Mandala of Mahamudra
This is the annual retreat for the Mahamudra Practice Group. This event is by invitation only for those who are already part of the Mahamudra Practice Group. If you'd like to attend in person, but registration is at capacity, let us know here and we'll be in touch if a place becomes available.
Timetable
This is the intended framework for holding our time in retreat, as with all things, it may change!
To help us approach the retreat mandala with a sense of knowing and preparation, the boundaries around silence have been decided too - those at The Hermitage will be in silence from after evening puja the previous day until lunchtime on Sunday, Monday and Friday, we're invited into full silence on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We invite those online to be curious about how you can bring this into your home retreat commitment.
To help hold the organisation of the in person retreat, we'll be meeting as a group at 6:30 after supper to gently prepare for the following day. This may include a check in, practical announcements and practical decisions to be made, we'll aim to meet in a way that embodies the practice aspect of our gathering.
