In recent weeks, DNBF has been visible in both Norwegian and international media, while our activities are filling up quickly. With full retreats, new concepts in Oslo and exciting plans behind the scenes, we enter 2026 with high activity and great interest.

Venabu April 2026 retreat

All rooms at Venabu are fully booked and only three cabins/huts are available at Venabu in April. We have a waiting list for those who want a room. We look forward to having a visit from Venerable Canda again, and a week in the mountains with tranquility, beautiful nature, good food, inspiration and time to work inwards towards joy, freedom and wisdom.
