01 – 22 March 2025
For three weeks in March, we invite you to join our community in Guhyaloka. You can come for one, two, or all three weeks. Each week of the retreat begins on Saturday afternoon and ends on the following Saturday morning.
We have structured a program where work, spiritual practice, and sharing come together harmoniously in this secret valley.
The first four mornings of each week are dedicated to working together in and around the retreat center. Much of the work involves land management: clearing undergrowth, maintaining firebreaks, felling and clearing trees damaged by recent storms, and preparing wood for burning next winter. Other tasks include painting, renovation, general maintenance, and construction work.
Thursday is a day of introspection, dedicated to meditation and silence.
Friday is an unstructured day, during which you can take the time to explore the stunning and magical landscape surrounding Guhyaloka.
Additionally, each day includes a program of meditation, puja, and study together.
This is a men’s retreat, open to all in the Triratna Community, regardless of age. However, please note that you will be invited to work physically for four mornings each week, so if you have back problems or find physical work too painful, you should take this into consideration before attending.
People with specific skills in construction or forestry work are especially valuable to us. If this is your case, please let us know in advance so that we can best utilize your expertise during your stay.
The retreat costs 140€ per week and we ask for a 50€ per week non-refundable booking fee to reserve your place.
