"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."

"Came for lunch and chance to gather my thoughts. Excellent spicy tomato soup served by friendly bods. It was lovely to get away from busy streets and sit in garden reading book for a short time. Would come again."
