SUMMARY:Men's Winter Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Cultivating an Unshakeable Mind\nWith Abhayadhara and Ādityad
 āsa\nFriday 11 - Sunday 13 December 2026\n\nThe Buddha said that the five
  spiritual faculties are sufficient\, on their own\, to bring forth all th
 e qualities of a Buddha. They are faith\, energy\, mindfulness\, concentra
 tion\, and wisdom\, leading to insight into the nature of reality. For San
 gharakshita\, they also offer an illuminating lens through which to unders
 tand Buddhism’s development into different schools over the centuries.\n
 \nJoin Abhayadhara and Ādityadāsa as we explore each of these faculties:
  what they are\, how they support and balance one another\, and how to rec
 ognise and strengthen them in our own practice. We’ll do this together t
 hrough talks\, meditation\, and puja\, in the company of other men walking
  the path.\n\nReserve your place now\n\n\n*** If you are unable to come on
  retreat without a single room due to a medical or mental health need\, pl
 ease contact alice.evans.bbc@gmail.com before booking online\, to confirm 
 availability of single rooms. ***\n\nRetreat will run from Friday 11th (la
 te afternoon/early evening) to Sunday 13th December (afternoon)\n\nCost - 
 £145 Full Price / £95 Concessions (including the deposit)\nPlease note t
 he £50 deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable
