Dear friends,
We invite you to join us for a weekend of exploring the many ways to nourish our happiness, with walks in the forest, moving our bodies, cooking together, making art, singing and sitting by the fire, and sharing our stories. We will explore how to bring playfulness into our way of living and responding to the world and sharing this way of being with others. Together, we will build a community of young people who can touch the sweetness and compassion in themselves, and therefore the world.
This retreat is based in Buddha Dharma and the 5 precepts. We welcome both those who practice Buddhism and those new to the practice.

CANCELLATION POLICY
When we prepare for a retreat each one of you counts and is counted in the number of beds that are made and the amount of food that is cooked. As we are often booked out quite quickly, a cancellation can prevent someone else from joining us.
In the event of a cancellation up to 10 days prior to the starting date of the retreat, we can offer a 75% refund or the funds can be carried over to your next retreat.
However, a cancellation within 10 days of the retreat starting date is non-refundable.
