Retreat Type: 
Mitras

This popular retreat is held over a particularly reflective time of year. It offers an opportunity to look back over the previous year and to anticipate the next - with meditation, discussion, Dharma study and a big ritual on New Year’s Eve.

This retreat is for Mitras practicing within the Triratna Buddhist Community who wish to deepen their Buddhist practice and who have been on at least one week-long retreat.

The retreat has a rich history of being a women-only space. We are open to bookings from a wider range of gender identities, in keeping with the tradition of this women-centred retreat. If you are unsure if this retreat is a good fit for you please get in touch.

For more information read the retreat information sheet.

Paying for your retreat

Dhanakosa runs on donations

Dhanakosa does not charge for retreats.  Instead, we ask people to make a donation towards the ongoing cost of running the centre, for everyone.  This recognises that everyone’s financial circumstances are different.  It’s a genuine donation but our suggested donations may serve as a guide.  You are free to decide how much to give.  And we don’t want our doors to be closed to the less well off.

The donations we collect from you on your retreat pay for future retreats.  You are “paying it forward”.  And the retreatants of the future will heartily appreciate your generosity.
