"The imagination is the rich ground into which the truth roots and out of which pours forth image, symbol and riches."
- Maitridevi, Imagining the Earth - Free Buddhist Audio, 2022

Our yearly journey with the elements takes us through the forest in 2023. Our relationship to the trees that we depend on and share our world with is special – and often unseen. Our exploration takes us from the soil and mycelium up to the leaves and out into the seasons and our sense of time. With daily meditation and Dharma talks every other day, you can spend time connected to community as well as the elements around you.
Element leaders are confirmed. Come and join us from 12th - 26th February in whichever way you prefer - from weekend warriors, pay as you go or full-time retreatants we have options for everyone.
Earth with Subhadassi - roots and soil
Water with Viryanaya - capillaries, sap rising and the special tides of trees
Fire with Singhashri - wood and warmth
Air with Dhivan - leaves and breathing with trees
Space with Ratnadeva - life cycles and seasonality (impermanence)
Consciousness with Maitridevi - mycelium, ecological interconnectedness and sangha.
Allow yourself to be inspired and nourished by the imagination while gently guided through the beauty of an elemental forest. With daily meditation, talks, community and ritual.
