Dharma Yatra

Imagine 120 people, from 22 different countries walking silently in single-file through the French countryside for 10-days. Imagine that is organized by volunteers and paid for by participant donations. Imagine eating fabulous home-cooked meals, swimming in rivers and ponds along the way, listening to masterful teachings, engaging in interesting discussions, participating in impromptu sing-alongs, sleeping under star-filled skies. You may say we are dreamers, but we are thankfully not the only ones. See you in France this summer! www.dharmayatra.org

Moulin de Chaves

In the sleepy little town of Cubjac, in an old mill on the banks of a gentle river, lies the Moulin de Chaves Meditation Center. Martin and Gail Aylward created Le Moulin as a place 'to be', a place for connection with oneself, with others and with Nature. They offer a beautiful setting, caring supportive conditions, and practices and teachings for awakening to Life itself. People from any or no spiritual background are welcome, with or without previous meditation experience. We first met Martin in Bodhgaya, India where he was facilitating a 10-day vipasana retreat. We fell in love with his open approach and his practical teachings and we followed him to France for more. If you are interested in starting a meditation practice, or looking to infuse your practice with a fresh perspective we highly recommend www.moulindechaves.org
