Christmas Holiday Week

Lighting this candle, as an offering to countless buddhas,
One moment of peace and joy, lights up the face of the earth.

Lighting the candle Gatha

This one-week (December 20 – 27) Christmas Holiday Week we invite you to light the candle of your own heart — the heart of practice, peace, and joy — and let it radiate out as an offering to your beloved ones, to all beings, and to the world.

Together we will nurture our heart of practice through mindful walking, deep listening, joyful work, and the shared warmth of spiritual friends.

December 25 will be a day of simple celebrations. It is possible to book a stay for two-weeks to join the New Years Week from December 27 – January 3 2026.

Families are welcome but please note that there will not be any special activities for children or teenagers.
