You are warmly invited to participate in our annual BuddhaDharmaSangha camp – a gathering of dharma friends new and old. The camp is a wonderful opportunity to practice Dharma in the time honoured way of the Buddha – together with a like minded Sangha; the community, co-created by each of us; held by and being part of the wider community of the natural world.
The days will include Insight and Samatha Meditation, Qigong and movement, as well as relational and community practices. The mornings will be devoted to noble silence.
We will devote time for sharing our experience in seeking to apply the dharma to our lives and the world, exploring ways to nurture spiritual companionship.
There will be space for formal practices, dharma teachings sharing groups, rituals as well as time for enjoying our being part of the natural world and hanging out with others, walks, swimming in the river, nights around the campfire, star gazing, songs, stories and… whatever we decide to create!
If you decide to book a place on the camp we are ask that you commit to a wholehearted participation in the core structural elements of camp, including:
- engaging in the practices and teachings offered
- attending daily camp gatherings and small group sharing meeting
- keeping the morning silence
These are essential parts of what makes the BDS such a unique and wonderful field of spiritual practice and community.
