A few things to keep in mind to make your day more enjoyable and fruitful.
- If it is your first time visiting us, we kindly ask you to arrive at 8:00am, which would allows us to share some basic practices with you so that your stay could be more pleasant and beneficial.
- Please arrive early so that you can enjoy a cup of tea, listen to the birds singing before joining the activity.
- Please wear appropriate attire (i.e. long sleeve shirt (shirt covering shoulders), long pants (below the knees)...).
- Please bring a warm coat and proper shoes for outdoor walking meditation.
We appreciate donation which would help us cover cost of electricity and food for the day.
