The experience

Our center is one of the 100 meditation centres founded by the Burman monk Ottamathara, where people in difficulty (homeless, people with addictions, single parents, people with mental and physical problems) find refuge and hospitality for free, in a climate of total openness and joy, while meditators and volunteers from all over the world collaborate on existing projects or propose new ones. Everything Is for free!
