We will be walking and meditating together on a Buddhist-inspired pilgrimage to Glastonbury Tor through the ancient sacred landscape of Britain. We will be following a new route with the starting point to be announced...

The Buddha's followers were 'Yatrikas' or wanderers; we will be evoking the way of life of the very earliest Buddhists. We'll be aligning ourselves with the most ancient traditions of Buddhism as well as following the ancient trackways of Britain, at a very beautiful time of year

In a change to the usual timings, the Yatra will be one day longer and will conclude on the morning of Saturday 10th May with an interfaith 'Pilgrims Welcome Ceremony' led by Lokabandhu in his capacity as Mayor of Glastonbury.

Teaching team

Suryamani

Suryamani is a bodywork practitioner by trade, encouraging a loving awareness, ease and intuition in the body. She also loves to share nature inspired meditations and rituals and regularly leads yatra's (walking meditation retreats) within the local landscape. These activities help soften the imagined boundaries between our senses and all this here and now opening us up to our indigenous wisdom and the wisdom of the Buddha.
