BODHI COLLEGE 10th ANNIVERSARY
Join this in-person and online special day of reflection and dialogue to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Bodhi College. This milestone event is themed:
Ethical engagement in a changing world
Along with the Bodhi College faculty, trustees, staff and friends, you are invited to explore both the specific and the timeless wisdom of early Buddhist practices and how they address some of today’s personal, societal and global challenges.
The programme brings together most of Bodhi College’s teachers, features two facilitated plenary sessions in the morning, followed in the afternoon by three parallel interactive breakout groups with a team of two teachers each.
The day ends with a plenary town hall session which will be a conversation about the future and direction of Bodhi College.
There will also be plenty of breaks and opportunities to connect and engage with friends and fellow practitioners. Lunch and refreshments throughout the day will be provided.
Come together with the Bodi College community to celebrate past efforts and what has been achieved, engage in the shared present, and envision a more mindful and awakened future.
