YOUR STAY
Simple & Shared Accommodation
The retreat itself is peaceful, relaxed and welcoming. Our accommodation is simple and practical rather than luxurious.
Participants stay together in shared dormitory-style rooms and sleep on floor mattresses or cushions rather than hotel-style beds.
Come prepared to live simply, share space respectfully with others, and enjoy a different rhythm of life for a few days.
