Meet & Connect
As always, the Summer Course is a fantastic occasion to meet and connect with old and new friends from all over.
The Meet & Connect space in the cafeteria tent is open most of the time, with an evening program focused on storytelling and celebrating our rich Diamond Way history, and a lunchtime program offering info sessions and Q&A on various Diamond Way projects.
There will occasionally be meetings taking place in the Meet & Connect space.
Meditation in the Barn Gompa
As always, the barn gompa will be open 24 hours a day for personal practice.
