Tiratanaloka [UN]limited!

We've outgrown our building. Right now dozens are waiting for a space on each retreat, and many more would come if they were able. We are fundraising for a bigger retreat centre with a bigger team, helping women join the Order for many years to come

It's all about friendship: helping women in their journey towards ordination into the Triratna Buddhist Order. We are a Buddhist community living together, running retreats and supporting each individual in the deepening of their Buddhist practice.

Story

In 2022, the number of women training for ordination had grown so exponentially that we'd outgrown our current Tiratanaloka building. So we launched a campaign, Tiratanaloka Unlimited, to find a bigger property that could house the growing aspirations of women in the movement.

Three years later, we have the property of our dreams thanks to the hard work and generosity of people across the movement and beyond. Previously a Carmelite monastery, our new home in Ware will hold double the amount of women on retreats.

We are now at a pivotal point in our journey.

We are working hard to transform our new home into a beautiful, functioning Buddhist retreat centre, and we need your support to this.

We need to:

- Transform the chapel into a Buddhist shrine room

- Update the electrics and plumbing to be eco-friendly and support the amount of people who will be coming on retreat

- Upgrade the kitchen

- Furnish the rooms with beds, bunk beds, sofas and other things

This is all vital work and we cannot run retreats until it is done. Your support will allow us to do these crucial renovations so that we can run our new retreat centre, for women training for ordination, and for the benefit of all beings.
