What's On in Crossdale

Escape the stress and busyness of life and discover the peace of meditation for yourself. Be guided to cultivate greater inner peace and a more positive perspective on life through practical Buddhist teachings and meditations. In between sessions, enjoy the beautiful surroundings and the company of like-minded people.

Men’s Rites of Passage (MROP) is a unique five-day/four-night experience for men that builds on the classic patterns of male initiation through simple and moving rituals and teaching. Each day includes major teachings on the central themes of masculinity, quiet time for reflection and sharing in the context of a small group. This is not about religion, but about age old traditions that guide us into manhood.

For men who have done MROP in the past, the Returning Men’s program invites you to revisit your rites, deepen your own journey with other initiated men, and celebrate with this year’s initiates. Led by Rob Jones with a team of elders, the program includes teaching, re-connection with other men and engagement with the ongoing journey through an embodied, ritual-based encounter.
