On my ordination course at Guhyaloka in 2016 it became very clear that a lifelong commitment to Buddhism was going to require constant, intelligent and sensitive effort, as well as the support, encouragement, and love of spiritual friends.

To celebrate those qualities of the Buddhist path, and to ensure that many men for generations to come can have ordination retreats at Guhyaloka, we've launched the 'Get Fit for Guhyaloka' initiative - a communal fundraising challenge to raise money for the Guhyaloka For The Ages campaign.

I could hardly initiate this without taking part myself! So...between March and September 2026 I'll be engaging in weekly training sessions with sangha friends in Berlin, in preparation for...

...an all-day run/walk/cycle event on Tempelhofer Feld.

Tempelhofer Feld is a former airport and now a popular park with a 6km running track.

On Sunday 20 September 2026, I'll be hitting the track with sangha friends to raise as much money as we can for Guhyaloka For The Ages.

Between us, we'll be running, cycling and walking around the track all day, from dawn till dusk.

If you'd like to show your support, please give generously to Guhyaloka For The Ages. Thanks!
