Forthcoming Events
 
Wolf at The Door workshops and retreats are run by a group of friends within the Triratna Buddhist Order: Dharmavadana, Dhivan, Padmacandra, Satyadaka, Satyagita, Varasahaya, Vidyacitta and Vishvantara co-lead weekends and retreats in various combinations in the UK and further afield, while Satyalila concentrates largely on Order and other special events. Profiles of the team are here.

Our 2020 programme so far
​
COVID-19 UPDATE: We regret to say that some of our events have been affected by the present crisis. However, we are running equivalents, as far as possible, online. Please see below for details concerning individual events. Please also check the websites of host Centres for updates during the fast-changing Covid-19/lockdown situation. 


In the meantime, if you need writing inspiration, why not have a look at these prompts from the Poetry Society.


And if you still need more prompts or some ideas for prose, just Google something like 'short story prompts' - there are hundreds of them.

We will of course resume face-to-face activities as soon as we possibly can.


27-28 March 2021: the first of four weekends we will be running in 2021 for the West London Buddhist Centre. This one is online, with Vishvantara and Dharmavadana. You do not need to have attended other WLBC weekends to attend this one. Booking is not open yet, but put the date in your diaries, keep checking the WLBC website here, or contact them, and watch out for updates. 

8-9 May 2021: a weekend at Sheffield Buddhist Centre, with Satyagita and Dharmavadana; details to be announced.


25 June - 2 July 2021: a week's retreat at Dhanakosa Retreat Centre, near Balquhidder, Scotland, with Dharmavadana, Satyagita, Vidyacitta and Vishvantara.

Write and meditate by the shores of beautiful Loch Voil.
​
When we lead the Dharma life and move towards a more fully human one, the imagination is an essential part of that journey. Wolf at the Door offers you the chance to adventure in the Imagination through the practice of writing, meditation and ritual.
 
No prior experience of writing is needed. We ask that you are familiar with the basic Triratna meditations and puja and have a regular practice as meditation is not taught on the retreat. Also that you have been on retreat previously.

Note that at present this is planned as a face-to-face event, but obviously the pandemic context does not allow for any guarantees.


More information and booking on the Dhanakosa web site here. Please note this retreat is already full - but it's well worth phoning Dhanakosa to go on the waiting list. Please do email us at Wolf at the Door with any queries or for more information.
