Open men's retreat

Starts 20 Apr 2017

Myth, Magic and the Imagination

“I feel it is also important to have this, so to speak, magical element, not just in our lives generally but especially in our spiritual lives. And it is symbol, myth, ritual which help give life this magical element - you might say also imaginative element”.

- quote from Sangharakshita, European Order Weekend, August 2010

Explore the world of myth and creative imagination as evoked in the Pure Land sutras. Allow the rich imagery of the imaginal realm of Sukhavati to expand our minds beyond our limited personal stories into the greater realms of spiritual truth.

If you have a copy, Ratnaguna’s recent book on ‘Great Faith Great Wisdom’ is excellent preparation for some of the material covered on the weekend.

Open to all men familiar with our meditation practices.

We invite you to join us for an extended weekend retreat with meditation, devotional practice and in the company of like minded men. And not to under-estimate the power of the beautiful surrounds of the bush at Sudarshanaloka.
