These are the future options in our Retreat Institute, hopefully available sometime in 2023:
You may hold a personal and individual retreat, under the guidance of a qualified Palpung lama, after having contacted us and having exchanged basic information. Chöje Lama Palmo considers it very important everyone is able to go on retreat, so that many students can enter a retreat. Additionally, she wants the contribution for a room of two weeks be the same as a whole month as incentive.
In the near future, there will also be one small apartment available for long time retreatants, consisting of a living room/kitchen, bathroom and bed room.
Your contribution will include the room plus full board of a simple but nourishing style. Food will either be grown by ourselves or, since we are in the midst of farms, come from nearby farmers, with only few things from the supermarket. For Chöje Lama Palmo it is crucial that students receive a healthy, nourishing, pesticide free and sustainable diet. Those are the things she had been propagating for more than 30 years.
The farm is embedded in a beautiful area, away from the village. For those wishing to undergo a half retreat, there is a small swimming pond nearby, countless walking trails, options to bicyle and to ski cross-country during the winter.
Lamala also plans to purchase few bikes for the house so that everyone is able to move around environmental friendly and healthily and hence abstain to use your car and instead use public transport for your journey.
Furthermore, you will be able to have insight in Lamalas Welfare project, creating a safe space and hospice for farming animals, currently it is feral cats.
And anything needed for Dharma practice will also be available in house!
Further, you may support us in various ways so that the European Seat of Guru Vajradhara, especially for German speaking individuals, will soon be completed, offering many people the opportunity to retreat for the benefit of all sentient beings!
