Walking the Mandala
Five days of walking the Land of Beautiful Vision, and beyond
Vaccine passports will be used for this retreat. Read about the retreat conditions here.
Join Dhiraprabha and Akasamati to explore the terrain, on and off track, in the ten directions, arriving at the centre of the mandala on New Years Day. We aim to journey in both outer and inner landscapes.
The retreat will be a combination of mindful reflection and strenuous activity, with meditation and ritual framing our days. A reasonable level of fitness is required as we will be doing (guided) walks for several hours each day in moderately steep terrain. A list of recommended gear will be provided on booking.
This retreat is suitable for those with little or no experience of meditation and Buddhism and those with some experience.
