Joy of Being - Sangha Retreat

March 5 – March 15, 2026

An intimate gathering in community & stillness

We’re opening our home for a very small retreat in Europe this March. This isn’t a big event or formal program — it’s a simple, heart-centered gathering of sangha. Just a few of us together, living in one house, cooking meals side by side, meditating, walking in nature, and letting the rhythm of community guide the days.

This retreat is about returning to simplicity: sitting in silence together, sharing food, laughter, and practice, while resting into the deeper current of connection.

An Invitation

This retreat is currently by invitation only. We have limited space, and there are a select few who we would love to offer the first opportunity to join.

Daily Flow

Loose Schedule - we will decide how we feel and what we want to do... maybe we'll go out for a walk and get lost in the forest, maybe we'll have dinner at a local restaurant, maybe we'll spend the afternoon reading poetry... whose to say.

What to Expect

• A maximum of 12 participants — close-knit and intimate
• Shared meals cooked together in the house kitchen
• A rhythm of guided meditations, group dialogue, and silence
• Free afternoons to rest, hike, or explore local cafés
• Time by the fire, time in nature, and time simply being together

Practical Notes

Accommodation: We will be renting one large house together. Rooms will be shared or private depending on availability.
Meals: We’ll cook simple, nourishing meals together. Some evenings we may choose to eat out at nearby restaurants.
Location: Details will be shared privately once you’ve confirmed. The house is in walking distance to hiking trails, nature, and local amenities.

Contribution

This retreat is kept intentionally small and simple. Your contribution helps cover the costs of teachings, shared living, and the home we’ll gather in together.

This supports the daily teachings, guided meditations, open dialogues, retreat coordination and administration, retreat supplies, and the overall holding of the retreat container.
