Activities & Shift
Our main activities take place on weekends, during the retreats we hold here. During the week, we split activities between morning and afternoon, always with flexibility on both sides.

- Silence after 22:00
- Shared meals and cleaning with awareness
- Participation in collective alignments
- Respect for practices and schedules
🚫 Not allowed:
- Pets
- External visits
