The Rains Retreat (Vassa) Programme 2026 – Dhamma Saturday 01/08/26
Dhamma Saturday is the principal programme of this year’s Rains Retreat, offering an opportunity to pause amidst the busyness of contemporary life and engage with timeless Buddhist wisdom. Each week explores a different theme drawn from the Buddha’s teachings and their relevance to everyday life, including mindfulness, compassion, happiness, ethics, relationships, resilience, and the cultivation of inner peace.
The evening includes a thematic Dhamma talk and an open discussion, followed by traditional Buddhist chanting and a guided mindfulness meditation suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners. No prior knowledge of Buddhism or meditation is required.
Whether you come seeking intellectual engagement, contemplative practice, or simply a moment of stillness, Dhamma Saturday offers a welcoming space for people from diverse cultural, religious, and philosophical backgrounds to learn, reflect, and practise together.
🌿 Full venue details will be shared upon RSVP.
