Ajahn Pavaro recently visited Vernon, BC.  The focus of the weekend retreat was meditative practise and contemplation on the true nature of the self.  

Forest monastics such as Ajahn Pavaro provide lay people with teachings and spiritual inspiration. 

The Emily Dahl Foundation believes all forms of contemplation and inquiry into the self can be powerful tools for managing negative emotions in this challenging and ever-changing world.  

Ajahn Pavaro

Ajahn Pavaro’s early formative monastic training began in 2001 with Ajahn Sona at Sitavana Forest Monastery in British Columbia. He spent his seventh year as a Bhikkhu with his preceptor, Luang Por Pasanno, and the Sangha at Abhayagiri Monastery. In 2010 he moved to Thailand and spent nine years with Ajahn Achalo at Anandagiri Monastery in Petchabun. He benefited from periods of practice at Wat Pah Nanachat and from opportunities to receive teachings from leading elders of the Wat Non Pah Pong Sangha, including Luang Por Liem and Tan Ajahn Anan. In June 2020, Ajahn Pavaro was welcomed to Tisarana where he now resides.
