Going for Refuge (GFR) Retreats for Women*

In Person and online

Every year we hold in person retreats at Dharmadhara and Aryaloka for Women* who have asked for ordination into the Triratna Buddhist Order.  There are also occasional online retreats.  See the Alokasetu website for information about these retreats as well as a wealth of resources related to ordination training.

Next retreat at Dharmadhara: April 30 to May 9, 2026

* Triratna has a rich history of creating retreats for women, including trans women. We are open to bookings from a wider diversity of gender identities, while honoring our tradition as distinctively women’s retreat spaces. If you are unsure if a women’s GFR retreat is a good fit for you, please get in touch.

Retreat Requirements: Mitras, Order Members
