‘You need to establish yourself in the right way of life, the right circumstances, and just leave it at that, just continue indefinitely in that way. Allow yourself to build up momentum. Allow your skilful lifestyle to have its effect over a number of years. This of course assumes that the lifestyle is one that really does suit you and is conducive to your growth and development.’ Milarepa and the Art of Discipleship 2
This is a retreat for those aged 30 and under who are either thinking of asking for ordination, or who have asked. We will explore the burning question for this stage of life: what lifestyle should I lead? As our inspiration we will look at the story of Sahle Aui - a young woman disciple of Milarepa, the great Yogi of eleventh century Tibet. Spending time with other women at the same stage of life, and talking to younger Order Members, perhaps the myth of our life will start to be revealed a little bit brighter, shining in letters of gold.
