FAQs
Do you arrange transfers to and from my location?
Centrally located, the pagoda is easily accessible by foot or via the Grab app. Your guide will provide the exact location and timing details prior to the journey.
Who is my guide?
The retreat is guided by experienced lay practitioners with in-depth knowledge of Buddhism and meditation.
Our Buddhist guide will contact you 2-3 days before departure to share essential details and preparation instructions for the trip.
Can I talk to monks?
Unlike traditional meditation retreats designed for large Sanghas to practice meditation and listen to Dharma talks together, our program is tailored for small private or shared groups who wish to engage in meditation from foundational to advanced levels while exploring the core teachings of Buddhism.
The monks are very busy, if you're lucky you can meet and greet them!
