Living with Uncertainty: Exploring the Bardos

This retreat offers an opportunity to explore the Buddhist teaching of the bardos, which are the transitional spaces and moments of change that shape our lives. Through meditation, reflection, and movement, we’ll explore how meeting uncertainty with awareness and compassion can open the way to greater freedom and clarity.

The retreat offers space to slow down, deepen practice, and reflect on change, impermanence, and transformation in a supportive and grounded way.

We post all the flower photos this time of year, because the gardens here are breathtaking.

The wisteria on the outside of the retreat centre shrine room was blooming during the Dance of Awareness retreat - such a treat for the retreatants.

Awakening Body: Movement, Meditation and Buddhism

This nourishing retreat invites us to explore the body as a gateway to awareness, freedom, and connection. Through gentle movement, meditation, embodied practices, and Buddhist reflection, we create space to listen more deeply to ourselves and our experience.

The retreat offers a chance to slow down, reconnect, and cultivate a more grounded and compassionate presence in everyday life.

We still have a few places left on our Turning the Heart Towards Freedom Retreat coming up in a few weeks.

What happens when we turn our attention towards the deeper truths of our lives? Drawing on the traditional Four Mind-Turning Reflections: the preciousness of human life, impermanence, karma, and the unsatisfactory nature of conditioned existence, this retreat invites us to explore the teachings that inspire a genuine commitment to the spiritual life.

Through meditation, reflection, talks, and time in the beautiful surroundings of Dhanakosa, we’ll create space for these teachings to touch both heart and mind, opening the possibility of greater freedom, wisdom, and compassion.

A warm invitation to join Pasadini this summer at Dhanakosa Retreat Centre for Embodied Courage, our q***r and gender diverse retreat, running 24-31 July 2026. This is a deeply precious opportunity to practice meditation, build community and cultivate joy with other LGBTQ+ folks – finding the courage to turn towards ourselves, others and the fullness of our lives.

We'd love you to join us this July, in wild and beautiful central Scotland, on the shores of Loch Voil and surrounded by mountains.

The retreat is open to people with at least 6 months regular meditation practice, who have been on retreat before and are comfortable with periods of unguided practice.

This time of year is a most glorious time here at Dhanakosa! The grounds are absolutely stunning and just popping with colour. We were lucky to have some lovely warm days last week and the plants just drank in the sunlight (as did the community!).

Lochside...

A place to pause, breathe, and take in the stillness of the water and the surrounding hills. In the early morning light or the quiet evening, the lochside offers an invitation to slow down and simply be.

For many on retreat, these moments by the water become a special part of their practice - a space for reflection, calm, and connection.
