As the Order expands and develops it can sometimes be difficult to find a significant and meaningful way to contribute. Kalyana Mitrata as a living spiritual principle gives us a way of functioning not only in the Order and movement but in the world generally that brings a greater depth and richness to our experience. It is one of the most effective ways we can make a difference to our lives and to the lives of others. On this retreat, we’ll use the Four Tantric Rites (of pacification, fascination, prospering, and destruction) as a framework for exploring ourselves as kalyana mitras, looking at the rewards and dangers of a path that holds at its heart the ‘kalyana’ – the vertical dimension of beauty and authentic values. We’ll also do the Kalyana Mitra practice, a meditation that can take us into the realm of the kalyana in a more mythic way.
