May this post be of help and support for others endeavors on the path.
“I hope someone more familiar with the temple can respond.”
“I hope the path or some support will arrive at the right time“
When I last went to Waharaka Temple about two and a half years ago, there was no Bhikkhuni presence or I didn’t notice any during my short visit.
“However, I don’t know of any place that follows Waharaka Thero’s teachings for women.”
After taking into consideration of the discussion taken place here, the idea / thought / dhamma came to mind to write this message to recommend / suggest / encourage AniccaSeeker to visit Jethavanarama Monastery. I believe the answers AniccaSeeker is seeking, or the opportunity to explore new possibilities can be found there. As well I find the name AniccaSeeker to be very fitting for the opportunity at this monastery, where you might learn of additional or alternative perspectives on contemplating the Three Characteristics and other dhamma teachings.
AniccaSeeker mentioned about thinking of gently exploring monastic life. At Jethavanarama Monastery, they have about over 150+ female Anagarika’s.

One doesn’t need to join as a monastic to visit the monastery. There are many people from all over the world and all walks of life who often visit the monastery to learn more about the teachings and explore the possibilities of becoming a monastic there or elsewhere. I personally know of and have met a few Puredhamma forum members whom have the desire to ordain at the monastery or have already done so.
If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.
