Dear Friends,
Unfortunately Venerable Tejadhammo’s health has taken a turn for the worse and he will be unable to attend the March Dana Day or lead the Easter Long Weekend Retreat. Full refunds will be issues for retreat bookings ASAP.
While we deeply regret the inconvenience caused, we ask that you keep Bhante in your thoughts at this time.With Metta
