New Retreat Centre in Dharamsala
We are pleased to announce that we have acquired four acres of land located by the riverside, one-hour away from our Dharamkot Centre, on which a Retreat Centre is being built. We plan to develop a farm, based on the principles of Permaculture, producing fruit, herbs and milk for 35 students. Modest natural dwellings and a swimming pool are also included in this plan. This Retreat Centre is a natural extension of our work, and represents the principles guiding us in our journey. The focus on teaching and need for quietness to experience its depth, have, in the past, suffered as a result of outside distractions for participants of the Intensive Courses especially. We therefore now plan to hold these Intensive Courses in this more natural, still environment. The new Centre is located on the banks of a little river, coming straight from the snowcapped peaks of the Himalayas. There is forest all around and the place is truly peaceful. Such a project requires people - dedicated to providing an environment which encourages the inner journey to be joyful one and where we have the resources necessary to support students on their path. Therefore, we also plan to set up a commune separate from the Retreat Centre with various projects, such as: Organic Farming, Permaculture and other environmental and social projects that are strongly linked to our spiritual journey. Till date, around 600 fruit trees have been planted in a conventional way, and at the moment, we are looking for someone with a strong Permaculture foundation to continue the project for a 3-month period: in April/May/June or in September/October/November.
