For women who are training for ordination and Dharmacharinis.

Join us for an Online GFR Weekend Retreat hosted by Tiratanaloka! This is a great opportunity to explore the Dharma deeply from the comfort of home, with a community of like-minded practitioners. Together, a group of GFR women and Order Members from Nottingham will attend, each evening we'll gather in-person at the Nottingham Buddhist Centre to host the ritual sessions, enhancing our shared practice of ordination training.

This year would have been Sangharakshita’s 100th birthday, and to celebrate, Tiratanaloka will be running three weekend retreats devoted to different aspects of his life and practice.  This first weekend a group of women from the Nottingham Sangha will join, looking at the theme of Sangharakshita as the wandering monk.  We will be exploring his ‘going forth’ into homelessness, meeting friends and teachers, and following the instruction of his teacher, settling in the foothills of the Himalayas.  What can Bhante’s life teach us in our own, very different, lives?  How can we be wanderers, inspired and receptive, as he was?
