A week is over, and we have had several guests visiting the mountains. The teaching has been decidedly as we go, and so far has been about basic meditation, metta meditation, right effort, generally about the forest tradition – as well as deeper Buddhism when few of us are present.

The experience so far in this pilot project is good, but it can get a little cold in the group tent on colder days, so warm clothes have been important, as normal in the mountains.

And as intended, everyone has plenty of time for practice and study, and common inspiration in the evening.
