After visiting Bodhinyana Monastery\, he volunteered there for 11 years\, earning the nickname “Monk-anic.” Despite initial parental opposition\, he ordained in 2008\, joining the monastic community\, and his family later accepted his decision. \nBhante Bodhidhaja\, born in Switzerland as Nicolas Vrticka\, encountered Buddhism early on through a neighbor. He became a teacher and chose social work instead of military service. At 21\, he temporarily ordained in India under Acharya Buddharakhita\, adopting the name Bodhidhaja. From 2006\, he practiced and served in various monastic communities\, eventually joining BSWA in Perth in 2010 as an Anagarika\, and receiving full ordination in 2012 under Ajahn Brahm. He remains part of the BSWA monastic community. \n\n\n\nAbout the Retreat:\nThis silent residential retreat consists of walking and sitting meditation practice. There will also be a daily Dhamma Talk and Q&A session. The teachings are sequential during this retreat\, so casual attendance is not possible.
