Our New year’s event, a whole night meditation sit we cal Jhanathon was a very inspiring experience for everyone involved.
Santi looked a bit like a tent city for a couple of days with the large number of people who were very keen to see just how far they can go. As you can see from the pictures of morning after breakfast – all of us survived…..

Sadhu.
