Your Time with Us

To support your practice, we ask that you remain on the monastery grounds for the duration of your stay. By setting aside sightseeing and outside travel, you allow yourself the space to truly settle into mindfulness and the rhythm of the community.

Meals & Nourishment

We provide three healthy, mostly vegan meals each day. As a small community, we’re unable to accommodate special dietary requirements. While we aim to offer variety, you’re welcome to bring supplementary food if you have strict medical or personal needs (please note that food consumption is not permitted in the cottage).
