Last November while she visited Wellington Vimalasara lead a weekend retreat at Strathean Retreat Centre north of Wellington. Strathean was full to capacity and we had a great mix of Sangha, young and older, those who'd been around for ages and those quite new.

The retreat coincided with Bhante's funeral. Strathean kindly provided a wifi password and a number of retreatants were up in the early hours taking part in the funeral from far far away.
