The 2023 mountain retreat was at Haukeliseter on Hardangervidda in July, and the goal was like last year − out in nature, peace for the mind, exercise for the body – living simple and plenty of time for your own practice and development for a small group of interested people.

The teaching given to the groups of visitors was focused around the eight-fold path – intention, ethics, effort, mindfulness and meditation. An important topic this year was the effect of meditation for better health.

We have collected some photos and film clips.

1) Fresh clean river water, 2) relaxing sundown while listening to teachings, and 3) two rather uncommon Chief Diciples of the Buddha (given to us by the participants).
