The society is planning monthly teachings in Oslo, and we are looking for a central venue that we can use once a month (initially) for a whole Saturday or Sunday – somewhere quiet in the city. We need a larger room for teaching and meditation for about 20 people, a reception area and a place to eat lunch. Send us an email to post@dnbf.org if you can help!
