PREREQUISITES
The prerequisites for attendance for the SECOND PART are having taken refuge, previous Buddhist practice, having received mind nature teachings previously from Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche or another teacher in the tradition, and most importantly, the genuine intention to apply the specific instructions received in retreat.
ACCOMMODATION
Due to our limited space, beds in the house or huts are only available for those who are attending both portions of the seminar. You are very welcome to camp on our land either in one of our tents or in your own tent, but we will need you to register for that here as well. Please read the accommodation options carefully to make the most suitable choice.
We encourage you to quickly book outside accommodation in the villages of La Bastide, Ceret, Valmanya, Saint Marsal, and Prades. Please be aware that the timing of our event is the same as an annual celebration in La Bastide, so there is very little accommodation available within walking distance. This means that any offsite accommodation would require you to either have or rent your own transport or to arrange car-pooling with other participants.
Please note that our shrine room has a limited capacity of around 100 people and we must observe safety regulations.
TRANSPORT
We will be arranging transport with a van to and from Barcelona (one trip) and to and from Perpignan (three trips) at specific times. The van can accommodate 7 people per trip. Please make a note of the times the van will run and if you plan to arrive by public transport, plan accordingly. Those times are as follows:
Arrival
June 24th 18.00 Barcelona to Gomde
June 25th 11.00 Perpignan to Gomde
June 25th 15.00 Perpignan to Gomde
June 25th 18.30 Perpignan to Gomde

For other arrival or departure times, you will need to make your own arrangements with taxis in Barcelona or Perpignan. We appreciate your understanding about our remote location. Note that the van payment can be made below!
We very much look forward to welcoming all of you to this remote and beautiful mountain retreat center. Many Tashi Deleks!
