Time Out For Dharma In A Meditation-Based Community

Time Out for Dharma in a Meditation-Based Community

Tuesday 3rd – Saturday 14th May

Some members of the dharmasphere collective will be meditating at the Centre from May 3 to 14. We’ll be sitting together morning and evening, but other than that, activity will be self-directed, with the emphasis on silent solo meditation. It is also possible to offer service in support of Jacinta, our new caretaker.

We invite you to join us! To attend you will need to:

  • Be experienced enough in meditation to practice on your own with confidence.
  • Join at the beginning and stay for as long as you are able.
  • Bring sufficient food for your stay.

We will work out communal meal prep/clean up when we know who is on the land. There will be no “organising person” but a compassionate engagement in meditation-based community life.

There is a requirement to have a negative Rapid Antigen Test within 24 hours before you arrive. (Link to Covid-19 policy)
