House Retreat

Shared room refers to the two rooms off the hallway, any beds in the lounge room of the house and any beds in the library set up during course retreats. Everyone sleeping in a shared room pays the shared room rate regardless of room occupancy and has use of a shared bathroom and toilet. 

NOTE: The shared rooms off the hallway are available to members outside of retreats.  Members staying in these shared rooms outside of retreats use the Mandala kitchen.

Mandala kitchen

The Mandala kitchen, built in 2021, is a full kitchen located in the Mandala shed.  It includes an electric oven, gas stove top, microwave, fridge, rainwater (cold only), pots, pans, crockery, utensils and cooking and tea making basics.

The Mandala kitchen is used by community members visiting for the day or staying in the shared rooms/camping outside of retreat courses.

Extended stays are negotiated with Namgyalgar Gakyil and Caretaker.
