BuddhaDharmaSangha Camp
August 21st-29th 2021
With Kirsten Kratz, Catherine McGee, Brad Richecoeur, Yanai Postelnik.
We have made a date for this years camp, which we hope will go ahead if the Covid-19 pandemic situation allows and with whatever guidelines are necessary at the time.
The camp is a wonderful opportunity to practice Dharma in the time honoured way of the Buddha – together with a like minded Sangha; the community, co-created by each of us; held by and being part of the wider community of the natural world. The days will include Insight and Samatha Meditation, Qigong and movement, as well as relational and community practices.
We will devote time for sharing our experience in seeking to apply the dharma to our lives and the world, exploring ways to nurture spiritual companionship. There will be space for formal practices, dharma teachings sharing groups, rituals as well as time for enjoying our being part of the natural world and hanging out with others, walks, swimming in the river, nights around the campfire, star gazing, songs, stories and… whatever we decide to create!
About Our Camps
The beautiful secluded venue for all of our summer camps exudes both the peace and wildness of the moors. It is surrounded by hills, trees and bordered by the bubbling Holy Brook. We are within easy walking distance of the River Dart, with its swimming places and wooded walks, as well as the open moor and its magical wildness.
Facilities
We have a selection of beautiful carpeted Yurts and geodomes, several with wood stoves, some with wooden floors, large marquees for cooking and eating, a sauna and especially made ‘compost loo’s. We bathe in the Holy Brook that flows through the site and have gas hot water on site.
Even though there is a sense of truly being away from civilisation we are only a few minutes away from shops and other amenities.
General Camp Guidelines
These are small, intimate camps. We request that no drugs or dogs are brought to the camp.
In order to create the possibility of deepening into common-unity we request no arrivals after the starting day and no departures before the end.
Food
We cook communally using mainly local organic vegetables and vegetarian wholefoods. We aim to cater for special diets as much as possible.
Children
The children have their own domes and games and activities are offered for children aged three and above for the main morning and afternoon sessions. Under-threes need to have parental supervision.
