Vajraloka Autumn Work Retreat
October 30 - November 3, 2025

Experience living and working with others in beautiful North Wales this autumn. We’re looking for people to help us with some gardening, cleaning and decorating. A structure of daily work periods with meditation and ritual means you’ll get to have a retreat, experience sangha and support Vajraloka.

It has been created to cater for those who are curious, enthusiastic or just want to spend time at an established Buddhist meditation retreat center, depening their connection with their own meditation practice. Meditating from books or online sources can be one-dimensional and limiting. The personal touch makes a huge difference.
