There have been big changes with the team at Rivendell in recent months. Mandarava and Nagasiddhi have moved in to the annex behind the main house. They have taken on the role of the resident care takers of Rivendell. They will work behind the scenes along with the team at the Croydon Buddhist Centre to make each retreat happen.

The coming year is an exciting time for Rivendell with a diverse group of men and women coming to lead and support a wide variety of retreats. Our loyal band of volunteers also contribute a great deal to the life of Rivendell. Nick Burrows, the gardener, continues his many years of creative work in the garden. (Which looks as beautiful as ever!).
