come to this place every year for some quiet, tranquility
and spiritual enlightenment. The vibe is wonderful and very
relaxed - people sitting down in mess halls for dinner and
breakfast and chatting to each other.
The rooms are very tidy and the cot beds comfortable. This
really is a place for conversation and quiet - people go to
bed early and there is no television or other modern distractions.
Be sure to bring basics like towels and soap for the unisex
showers at the end of each hallway.
