For order members and mitras who have requested ordination.

This retreat offers no formal teaching, allowing you to follow the rhythm and themes of your own meditation practice. It will be held mostly in silence. Each day, experienced order members will create a supportive structure of meditations, while evenings leave space for puja and ritual.

It is close to a solitary retreat, yet with the encouragement of being among fellow practitioners. Meditation reviews with team members are available on request.

The full retreat lasts four weeks and is divided into three blocks. You may join for the complete period or for part of it. Arrivals and departures are on Saturdays.

Block 1: 31 Oct–14 Nov (2 weeks)

Block 2: 14–21 Nov

Block 3: 21–28 Nov

Priority will be given to those booking for the full month until 1 April 2026.
