About the Teacher

Ajahn Mudito was born in a small village in northern Finland. In his early twenties, he travelled to the United States, where he worked in various jobs and later returned to Finland to spend several years working alongside his father in construction. During his time in New York, his long-standing interest in Buddhism deepened, and he began meditating with various groups; however, he struggled to find a teacher whose approach truly resonated with him.

This changed when he encountered Ajahn Brahm during a visit to New York to promote Open the Door of Your Heart. The clarity and grounded simplicity of Ajahn Brahm’s teachings had a profound impact on him. In 2010, he went to Bodhinyana Monastery in Western Australia and ordained as a bhikkhu in 2012.

Ajahn Mudito spent several years at Newbury Buddhist Monastery, supporting the development of the monastery and meditation centre. In 2024, he returned to reside at Bodhinyana Monastery. His teaching style follows Ajahn Brahm’s easy-going, down-to-earth approach, emphasising kindness, simplicity, and steady practice.

About the Retreat

This retreat will explore the Buddha’s training in cultivating a peaceful mind. When there is peace, our actions of body, speech, and mind naturally become gentle. In this way, we learn to offer the gift of peace to ourselves and to our spiritual companions. This weekend retreat will help quiet your mind and find happiness that comes from calm peace.
