WORKING IN THE CAMP
Those, working with us in the summer, set the tone and are the heartbeat of the camp. The fun, love, cooperation and harmony that we share become contagious to all.
Work camp 2012 June 17 - July 22
For more than twenty years, at an altitude of four thousand six hundred feet (1400 m) in the Ticino Alps, we build our meditation camp each summer with a group of about 25 volunteers.
If you're interested in spirituality, feel like doing physical work in a group and love participating in the group process, this is a wonderful place to grow.
We eat, work, sing, walk, talk and share, have sauna, dance, laugh and celebrate with each other. Whether young or old, man or woman, handyman or not, everyone is welcome!
Takedown 2012 August 19 - approx. September 5
After the abundance of experiences in the camp, it is a very nice process to deconstruct, pack and store everything. We wrap up the exterior as well as the interior, and in the end there are again only mountains, meadows, and cows - the true natives.
