The next Workshop will be at The Forest Hermitage from 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 5th.

In 2010 the quarterly workshops will be on the first Saturdays of March, June, September and December, ie March 6th, June 5th, September 4th & December 4th.

These Workshops are for Buddhist prison chaplains. Attendance otherwise is by invitation to Angulimala members only.

New chaplains, for the first three years, are required to attend at least two of the quarterly training workshops in each calendar year. After that it’s at least one per calendar year but really the more you can come to the better.

The workshops are important for several reasons that most will well understand. They offer support and friendship, they enable the sharing of information and good practice, they are an opportunity to offload concerns and difficulties, they are reminders of what Buddhist prison chaplains are supposed to be doing and so encourage and help chaplains to maintain and improve standards, and they keep the team together. And they’re often good fun.
