After reviewing key retreat themes like skillful attitudes towards meditation, happiness and suffering, present moment awareness, the importance of joy, loving kindness, and developing wisdom through the applications of mindfulness (satipattanas) and mindfulness of breathing (anapanasati), Ven Canda provides guidance for how meditators can integrate practice into their lives post-retreat by patiently putting the right conditions in place, nurturing the seeds of practice in a rich soil of virtue and imbuing them with all the factors of the Noble Eightfold Path that will allow them to blossom in their own time. In the final 20 minute meditation, Ven Canda guides the meditator in spreading metta.

More about us:
Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project is a Charity founded in 2016 with the aims to spread the Buddha's teachings and develop a monastery where women can train toward full bhikkhuni ordination for the very first time in the UK. Over the years we have developed a diverse and dedicated spiritual community around these aims and recently found a property! Anukampa Grove Bhikkhuni Monastery, in Boar's Hill, is only 5 miles from Oxford and is surrounded by peaceful woodland. Our moving date is March 22nd, 2024. In this exciting phase we welcome your support so we can make essential renovations and adaptations to the property and welcome visitors and aspiring monastics trainees as soon as possible!
Donations of any amount are very gratefully received, either as one-off donations or standing orders. UK tax payers can claim gift aid, increasing your donation by 25%. International bank transfers can be made via Wise.
