Favourite thing about the Centre: spending quality time with fascinating people from diverse backgrounds; spontaneously falling into deep and meaningful conversations over great food; all the little reminders of wisdom woven into daily life here; and the opportunity to cultivate real peace and harmony through Satsang and Sadhana within a community of sincere truth-seekers on this sacred land.
