Set in the foothills of the French Pyrenees, southwest France, Ekuthuleni is surrounded by hills, forest and wild thyme.

Small and simple can be beautiful and a great support for meditation, for feeling the richness of presence and what is already here. There is delight, care and creativity in what we provide, more comfort than you might imagine for a wild retreat! With a max of about 35 places for each retreat,in summer, & 9 in winter a taste of what is here:

• large group meditation platform in the trees, covered with roll down walls 

• Indoor kitchen, dining room and  indoor meditation hall for if the weather turns.. 

• Four  showers, one indoors , with warm water from a solar water heater & four compost toilets with a forest view. 

• good plentiful vegetarian food - supporting local, organic and seasonal, and goodies from the garden
