Long Sangha Retreat 2027

The week-long Birmingham Sangha Retreat is back:

Meeting at the Silver Spring
Adventures with Milarepa

Friday 10 September - Friday 17 September

On this retreat we will be accompanied by the great Tibetan yogi Milarepa. He had a troubled past, wrestled with terrible consequences of his actions, and because of this, vowed to gain awakening in a single life-time. He achieved his goal and left behind a rich body of teachings and songs which resonate today as much as they did in eleventh century Tibet. In the company of both new and old friends in the sangha we will explore how his story resonates to us personally and see what inspiration we can get from his teachings.

Our first sangha week in some years, this is a precious opportunity to go deeper into meditation, engage with talks, ritual, optional creative workshops, silence and connection.

Join Satyabodhini and the Centre team as we enter the mysterious and inspiring world of ancient Tibet.


Open to anyone who has learned Mindfulness of Breathing and Metta Bhavana

Painting by Nicholas Roerich:
A visionary and idealist, Roerich promoted peace and the protection of the world's cultural heritage, the unity of religions, and the notion that the creative people of the world bear the responsibility to save the world. During the nineteen-twenties, he composed a treaty for protection of the historic monuments, museums, scientific, artistic, educational and cultural institutions in time of peace as well as in war.
