Drawing on the Deep

Starts 18 Jun 2026

The need to explore and express what is essential in our lives through ritual is a fundamental aspect of being human. Ritual is central in all human cultures and can be both a portal into deeper aspects of our individual psyches and support our collective meaning-making, especially on our journey towards awakening.

On this retreat we'll be learning about ritual form then exploring this 'sacred play’ in relation to our Yidam, accompanied by a generous helping of our well-loved Triratna rituals.

The retreat will start Thursday 18 June with dinner at 6pm (arrive from 4pm onwards) and finish 12.30pm on Sunday.
