ACCOMMODATION

We offer very simple but comfortable, shared accommodation in form of the Amaravati retreat centre.

We extend the accommodation available at the August Family Camp by offering families the opportunity to camp in a designated area in the monastery grounds. You need to bring all your own camping equipment.

IN DAILY LIFE WE MUST SEE THAT IT IS NOT HAPPINESS THAT MAKES US GRATEFUL, BUT GRATEFULNESS THAT MAKES US HAPPY.
TRY PAUSING RIGHT BEFORE AND RIGHT AFTER UNDERTAKING A NEW ACTION, EVEN SOMETHING SIMPLE LIKE PUTTING A KEY IN A LOCK TO OPEN A DOOR. SUCH PAUSES TAKE A BRIEF MOMENT, YET THEY HAVE THE EFFECT OF DECOMPRESSING TIME AND CENTERING YOU.
