Sakyadhita Mini Conference and Annual General Meeting

Chenrezig Institute Eudlo Queensland   Saturday 6-Monday 8 June 2020

The SakyadhitaOz mini conference aims to encourage a high level of engagement and interaction with the SakyadhitaOz community. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet with the SakyadhitaOz community, find out what others are doing, and have input to the future direction of SakyadhitaOz.  

The mini conference will commence at 12 noon Saturday 6 June and close at lunchtime on Monday 8 June, with the option of a visit to Cittamani Hospice from 2pm to 3.30pm Monday afternoon. 

After arrival lunch on Saturday, Gary Foulkes, Curator of Garden of Enlightenment, will talk about the history and purpose of the Stupa and the surrounding gardens, followed by painting of Tsa Tsas in the Chenrezig painting workshop.

SakyadhitaOz President Helen Richardson will host the conference opening on Saturday evening, with recorded messages from Jetsuma Tenzin Palmo & Karma Lekshe Tsomo.

Sunday’s program includes two panels of speakers, a yoga workshop, a Three Tara dance workshop, and the launch of RainBodhi.  In the evening, Malgorzata Dobrowolska’s documentary film “Bhikkhunī – Buddhism, Sri Lanka, Revolution” about the revival of women’s ordination in Theravada Buddhism, will be screened, followed by Q&A with the director.

On Monday morning SakyadhitaOz’s AGM will be held followed by a strategic planning session.  Through this strategic planning process, we look forward to getting your input in determining the priorities, direction and activities of SakyaditaOz over the coming years.

Each morning there will be the opportunity to attend the Chenrezig nuns’ daily morning puja, followed by a guided meditation.
