With Stephen Roehrig
April 21 - 25, 2010
@ Providence Renewal Centre in Edmonton
Stephen was first introduced to the Buddha’s teachings by Anagarika Dhamma Dinna back in 1981. His first few retreats under her direction were life changing and since then he has had the good fortune of practicing under a number of other teachers including Ajahn Sobin Namto, Sister Ayya Khema, Ven. Madawala Punnaji, Ajahn Viradhammo, Ajahn Sona and Ven. Talgaswewe Seelananda. Stephen spent 3 ½ years at the Birken Monastery from 2001 – 2004 during which time he became ordained as a Theravadin Buddhist Monk. After his return to lay life Stephen continued in his role with the Light of the Dhamma organizing retreats, sending out newsletters, and assisting with various projects in the Dhamma community. Stephen has a keen interest in practice and takes time off several times a year for longer retreats.

Edmonton Fall 5 Day Retreat
We are very pleased to announce a 5 day retreat
With Bhikkhu Pavaro
Oct 27-31, 2010
@ Providence Renewal Centre in Edmonton
Bhikkhu Pavaro’s encounter with the Buddhist path began in 1980 under the guidance of Anagarika Dhamma Dinna. For many years he combined ardent retreat-going with the academic study of Buddhism and a busy family life. Fully engaged in the early flowering of Buddhism in Western Canada, during this time Bhikkhu Pavaro also meditated within the varied practice environments of such teachers as Ven. Piyadassi Mahathera, Ven. Madewala Punnaji, and Ayya Khema.
Shortly after his journey in 2001 to the Buddhist holy sites in India with another of his teachers, Ajahn Sobin Namto, Bhikkhu Pavaro left a university career in Religious Studies to devote himself to monastic training at Birken Forest Monastery under Ajahn Sona. His life as a Bhikkhu has continued to deepen his appreciation for the beauty and transformative power of the Dhamma
