All Leicester GFR Mitras have been invited to go on the Nottingham Buddhist Centre database to enable them to keep you informed of any events/courses that might help you in your GFR journey. If you would like to go on this database please do reply to this email with your Name, email address and possibly a telephone number so that I can pass these on to the Nottingham Buddhist Centre.

Midwest Jewel Quest

We have received the following information from Khemasiri who is based at the Nottingham Buddhist Centre:

The preceptors in the Midwest region are bringing Midwest Jewel Quest back to life. There were a few events before covid caused it to pause.

Midwest Jewel Quest are events for women training for ordination in the Midwest region. The aim is to support Tiratanaloka and help women training for ordination to connect regionally. The events are about making friends, practising the dharma and having fun!

The order is divided into regions. The Midwest region consists of city centres, groups and retreat centres including:  Birmingham, Nottingham, Leicester, Shrewsbury, Llangollen, Adhisthana, Malvern, Ledbury, Hereford, Worcester, Taraloka, North Wales and West Wales.

2024 Events Planned

• Saturday 29th June 11am-5pm: Birmingham Buddhist Centre with Pranjagita
• 6th – 8th September: Retreat Weekend at Taraloka

More information about these events and how to book will be sent in due course, you may wish to save the dates for now.

We aim to organise 2 events a year.

With love

Khemasiri (on behalf of the Midwest preceptors)
