This is a low time commitment online retreat from Dhanakosa to help us discover how we can use the five skandhas as a reflection scheme in everyday life.  It will take a practical and accessible look at this traditional list, reflection on which is said to lead to awakening.

The retreat will have two sessions a day; a morning session (10 – 11.30am) for a short presentation on the days topic and a led reflection, and then an evening session (7.30-8.45pm) to explore the topic together and have the opportunity to meditate together as a retreat group for those who can.  The morning session will be recorded and posted so people unable to attend will be able to catch up and still participate in the evening discussion.  The retreat will run from 7.30pm on Saturday 13th March and finish at 12.30am on Thursday 18th March. More information and a detailed programme read the retreat information sheet.
