Poson Full-Moon Mindfulness Meditation Retreat 2026

Mindfulness, Wisdom, and Human Connection in a Distracted Age’

As part of our continuing programme of mindfulness meditation retreats, we warmly invite you to join us for a special Poson Full-Moon Day Meditation Retreat dedicated to cultivating calm, clarity, compassion, and wise understanding in everyday life.

Poson Full-Moon Day holds a special place in the Theravāda Buddhist tradition, particularly as the day associated with the arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka through the mission of Arahant Mahinda. It is a time to reflect on the transmission of the Dhamma: how wisdom, mindfulness, and compassion are received, practised, embodied, and passed on.

In today’s world, where many experience distraction, anxiety, isolation, and information overload, mindfulness offers a path of inner steadiness and human connection. This retreat will explore the theme “Mindfulness, Wisdom, and Human Connection in a Distracted Age”, inviting participants to reconnect with the present moment and reflect on how meditation can support both personal well-being and collective harmony.

The day will include Dhamma talks and discussions, guided sitting and walking mindfulness meditation, shared reflections, a traditional Poson pandal, and a special workshop on meditation and cognitive transmission in the monastery garden.

Open to both beginners and experienced practitioners, this retreat offers a day of stillness, reflection, and community in the spirit of Poson.

🌿 Full venue details will be shared upon RSVP.

Thank you! 🙏
