A time to share dhamma, to follow one’s own schedule & a moment of log cabin/ open air community life. The warmth of summer, (or wood stoves in wintertime) & human hearts, nestled on a sunlit plateau in a wild valley, leading into endless hills of peaceful forests. A coming back to basics,to a simple way of living:

 emptying the compost, chopping veg etc, times for sharings, dhamma dialogues & one-to-ones with Sumedha & Noon as needed. The days will be silent with plenty of time for meditation.

We will meditate together as a group in silence at the first morning meditation & the last of the day with some chanting. The rest of the day there will be scheduled meditation times of 45mns each which you are free to join or not. You can meditate all day if you wish…. In between the first & last meditation you are also free to choose how to use your time, within the boundaries of  retreat centered activities of course. Here are some examples: walking meditation, listening to dhamma talks with headphones in the kitchen area or out in the sun ,reading,long walks in the hills ( possibility to take your lunch in a tupperware & be alone out in nature), writing, drawing, poetry, gardening…

​

 As well as offering guidance as needed, Noon & Sumedha will share some dhamma talks & guided meditations. We enjoy creating an alive safe space for people to explore & process whatever comes up. Sometimes we will go on silent contemplative walks in the hills together, &/or a silent walk on a full moon night.
