Working in Nature at Sudarshanaloka

Giving back to the land

Tree fern

We have been experimenting with these weekend formats for a few years now. And, after the success of our previous events, we think we might have found something which people enjoy and also contributes to the Sudarshanaloka project. One aim is to engage with the maintenance of the land at Sudarshanaloka in a playful, meaningful, and effective way. Another aim of the weekend is to spend time with other like-minded people who enjoy contributing back to the land.

Food will be provided at a cost of $40 for the weekend. Accommodation is free though a donation to help with keeping the retreat centre running would be much appreciated.

Extra opportunities will include a 7am meditation sit each morning and a movie on Saturday night.

If you have loppers, hedge clippers, shovels, gardening implements or any tools you think could be useful, please bring them along.

Come and spend the weekend in nature working with like-minded people.
