And so, putting in practice the art of living day by day, our community grew. From a handful of people who lived here at the very beginning, today 70 people live in our community, adults and children alike. Of course, everything gravitates around meditation, which sustains us in all we do in our life as smallholders on top of a mountain. Because we are active people, and the smooth running of our community is largely based on our own work in agriculture, construction, breeding goats and other things.
Even if you have taken part in another course in the World, we invite you first to take part in a 10-day course at our center.Vipassana Meditation

The course is structured as follows: day 1 – participants arrive and adapt to the course area, days 2 to 9 – meditation (8 of which are in noble silence), and day 9 is for returning to social activities. Total: 10 Days
