Accommodation

Rooms and Meals

Retreatants are housed in one of our two dormitories. There also may be opportunities for private rooms. Please ask in advance.

All meals are vegetarian. We offer breakfast, a primary mid-day meal, and a light soup or stew in the evening. For lengthier stays, retreatants may be asked to assist with cooking and housekeeping. Many dietary restrictions can be accommodated if we are aware in advance. Please notify us on your booking form if you have dietary restrictions. Additionally, some retreats may be held off site, in larger venues.

What to Bring

Please bring your own sheets and pillowcase; towel; loose, warm, comfortable clothing; outdoor shoes and coat for walking meditation; slippers or thick socks for indoor wear; and a torch/flashlight. You may also want to bring personal items such as ear plugs, and an umbrella or other rain gear. Please do NOT bring books, tape-recorders, MP3 Players, or mobile phones - your mind will be quite distracting enough without these! Please also do NOT bring a clock that makes a ticking sound as this will disturb other retreatants. A "silent" clock is fine. Duvet cover, pillow,  and meditation cushions/chairs are provided.
