Women’s Area Order Weekend 2023: Allowing Awakening: Beyond Thinking Addiction, Thursday 8 to Sunday 11 June 2023

From Order Connection on Tue, 9 May, 2023 - 14:09

There are just five spaces left on the upcoming Women’s Area Order Weekend at Taraloka, so do book soon! The weekend is being led by Candrika, Satyavandana, Taradakini, Subhanaya and Gunasiddhi and the theme is ‘Allowing Awakening: Beyond Thinking Addiction’.

Sanghahelg 28 april – 1 maj 2023

From Dharmagiri Retreatcenter on Sun, 7 May, 2023 - 08:50

Under sista helgen i april samlades 6 personer för att ta hand om Dharmagiri. Vi tog ner träd, rensade i rabatter, beskar rosorna, samlade upp grenar, eldade, klöv ved, hade mycket fina samtal runt matbordet i gröna huset, mediterade så klart och njöt av rymden, våren och mycket mer.

Tack till alla deltagare och alla som besöker och tar hand om Dharmagiri vid andra tillfällen – Dharmagiri och Dharma tar hand om oss.
