Near Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy · 1981–1993
Il Convento ('The Convent') was a former Christian monastery near Grosseto in Tuscany used annually by the FWBO for men's pre-ordination courses from 1981. Sangharakshita led these retreats and used the time to work on literary projects, edit transcripts, and lead evening question-and-answer sessions. He described walking the dusty Tuscan hillside tracks in hot September sunshine.
