Gairloch retreat

Dear Friend

This is to invite you to come and experience Sangha at our annual retreat weekend. Following its undisputed popularity last year we are again renting Gairloch Youth Hostel.

The retreat will start with dinner on Friday 23rd March and end at 3pm on Sunday 25th.

The theme will be the Six Emphases of Triratna

- the Order and Community are ecumenical and unified
- the act of Going for Refuge is central
- there is an emphasis on spiritual friendship
- team-based right livelihood
- the importance of the arts

Together we will explore the underlying principles and what they might mean to us in the Highlands of 2012.

Below is a link to a talk, The Six Distinctive Emphases of the FWBO (as Triratna was formerly) given by Sangharakshita in 2002:
