About this Retreat
Your Guides
Dayaloka has been involved with the Buddhafield Village retreat for over ten years. There he experienced practising outside as both a revelation and something that made perfect sense. He believes that connecting with nature can be healing and liberating. In 2024 he led the first Sheffield Buddhist Centre yatra.
Details of this retreat
Led by: Dayaloka and team
Location: Starting point will be Matlock and the end point will be Sheffield
Deposit amount: £80
Age group: Adults
Total suggested cost (excluding deposit): standard: £300, supported:£200, donation tier (helping others to come on retreat):£580
The Buddha's followers were 'Yatrikas' or wanderers; we will be evoking the way of life of the very earliest Buddhists. We'll be aligning ourselves with the most ancient traditions of Buddhism as well as following the ancient trackways of Britain, at a very beautiful time of year.
The main retreat blurb for this event is on its way. However, you can still register at this time if you’d like to reserve your place for this event. This event is usually popular and fully booked and so early booking is advised.
Participants should expect to walk up to 10 miles a day across mixed terrain in the weather of the day. Night stops will be a mixture of campsites and farmers' fields, with morning meditation and evening pujas and other ceremonies. The Yatra is open to all, whether Buddhist or merely curious.
