We are fundamentally dreaming and defining now in DNBF, and for the time being, the fantacy is allowed to roam freely, when we now seriously have started to think about projects involving property and buildings.

With a new board in place after the AGM and a successful 7-day retreat outside Trondheim, the focus going forward is kindfulness in Arendal and Stavanger, and Ajahn Brahmali's focus on Satipatthana in Oslo. In addition, there is the big spring's retreat at Venabu with Venerable Canda and Nitho, and a 9-day retreat in Finland.

For those who seriously want to cross over, we are now starting the fjord group. There will be an residential weekend retreat in Finland, an 8-day retreat outside Trondheim, an advanced weekend retreat in Stockholm, for deeper inspiration we are planning an intensive Pali language course - and we will meet at a café in Oslo in the pre-holliday rush, while others are now start their trip to India!
