I came for a working holiday. It was a great experience. So, I came for a retreat. It went well. I helped with a bit of cleaning here and there. Anyway, I want to talk about the pros and cons.
Pros
A pretty good community.
Nice rooms for meditation.
Nice Soup.
Apply for working visit.
Teachers available for different meditations.
Meditations include lunch, evening and advanced classes.
Day courses
Ordained and lay living together
Chanted prayers and meditation sessions are free
Different types of membership (could be a pro or con)
Classes can be paid for individually
Cons
Different teachers - need to find the one to suit your needs.
Teachers, admins and coordinator roles can change,
meaning that who you deal with can be different. This can be an issue because some of the volunteers may not be so professional. Can require patience at times.
A sanctuary to allow me to catch my breath and remind myself of the inner peacefulness within me. Love the friendly cafe staff and calming meditation classes here. The soup or the chef special in the icing on the cake for me! I am mentally and physically nurtured completely!
