Winter Womens Midlands Retreat
JOY
with Khemasiri, Maitrīsārā, Upekshanandi
Friday 11 – Sunday 13 December 2026
Buddhist practice involves not only the clearing of what clouds the mind—though it’s easy to focus there, Sometimes the way through is not to concentrate on uprooting the weeds but to plant so much else that they’re crowded out. Joy, gratitude, love, pleasure: these too can be grown and tended until they outweigh what once took up all the room. But what does that tending actually look like?,
Rooting the retreat with verses from the ancient scriptures found in the Dhammapada, we will explore the theme through talks, puja, meditation, group discussion, reflection and mantra, join us for a rich weekend of inspiration and connection.
