| No workshops this year - only regular monthly meditation weekends and longer mediation retreats: Print the calendar of the year (1x A4 - 30 kb) (only the list of the activities with the dates) |
| A) Monthly silent retreat with meditation Each weekend of the second Saturday of the month, from Friday evening 6 pm to Sunday morning 9 am Join us in a time of intense silence, built around prayer and meditation. We sit mainly in silence (rhythm of 30 to 50 minutes sitting meditation + 5 minutes walking meditation). We share the meals together in silence. Simple accommodation. Please bring your mat, cushion or bench (chairs are available at DCH), your sheets and some food to be shared (contact us for better co-ordination). For more detail about this time of silence, click here |
B) Monthly community days with a theme We are a group of about 5 to 10 people who meet regularly. Change: No community days this year... until later? Community days happen generally on the fourth Saturday of the month, but there is none if there is a workshop in the same month (workshop considered as a community day). We have a working bee in the morning (from 9am for 9.30 start) and share then lunch at 12.30; in the afternoon we share about a theme. Each one brings a dish to share. You may also come only for the working bees or only for the sharing, or for both. C) Seminars and retreats about a theme Some are facilitated by us, others are facilitated by people we have invited. Change: No workshop this year... until later? Read the description of each seminar or retreat here bellow |
