Of the 125 people who wanted to come, we were able to fit 60 people at Venabu in 2026 − even though the teaching room is a little too small for so many participants. But everyone got their own room, or their own cabin − and we had invited the first female bhikkuni trainee from the Nordic countries, a young woman from Denmark who is now being trained in Australia.

The instructors Canda and Nitho had chosen the topic for the teaching in advance:

  • Approaching the Path with Loving Kindness
  • Gradual training
  • Learning to Love Breath Meditation
  • Four ways of letting go
  • Seven Enlightenment Factors
  • Stream-winning

This teaching is now being edited for publication to podcasts and YouTube.

Retreatets mange maskotter :)
