Please download this page with its checklist: what to bring
Clothes:
- Loose fitting, warm clothes. (Please, don't bring 'noisy' clothes of some modern material.)
- The mean temperature is held at 19 degrees centigrade.
- Enough clothing for up to two weeks.
- Only meditators staying over two weeks will be able to use the washing machine.
- You can, of course, wash your clothes by hand any time.
- Outdoor wear to guard against the often inclement Welsh weather.
Important
Please dress modestly: 'not to use clothing that reveals or emphasises the person's figure' OED
For example: women - wear long skirts and loose fitting trousers over leggings; men - when hot not to wear shorts or just vests, but loose fitting shirts
Our attitude should respect the vow of celibacy we all take.
Bedding:
- Bring single 2 sheets (or 1 fitted sheet and duvet cover) and 2 pillow cases. This saves us time and cost.
- We supply duvets that normally cover all season but, if you know yourself to be sensitive to cold, please bring an extra sleeping bag or blanket/duvet.
- Earplugs just in case…
Toiletry:
- Bring everything you need - we will supply soap.
- Please do not bring perfumes, after shaves or scented ointments.
- If you use ointments and creams, make sure they are not scented e.g . E45
- We have installed a bidet in the bathrooms. The hope is that we stop throwing as many trees as we do in the form of paper down the toilet.
