Kshanti – Les Gavatxes

If you are a teacher of meditation, yoga, tai chi, chi kung, or any similar discipline, we would love to speak to you about the possibility of bringing a group of your students here.

Also if you teach painting, drawing, sculpture, writing, singing, or any other artform, we are equipped to help you.

We can usually accommodate up to 15 people comfortably indoors, and many more in the summertime when people can camp outside. We have a fully-equipped kitchen especially for groups, and large tables both inside and outside where we can serve meals. Read more.

We offer the possibility of working together on the Kshanti-Les Gavatxes project, living amongst the nature on the Gavatxes estate, sharing the maintenance and seasonal tasks (garden, kitchen, improvement of facilities, planting, pruning, etc…).

The idea is that people can contribute their experience and skills on a voluntary basis, in order to improve the project and the place, in harmony with the objectives and philosophy of Les Gavatxes. In this exchange we seek to enter the uncertainty of the collective learning space, working with open hearts and open minds. All proposals are welcome. Read more.

Les Gavatxes is an ideal place for a holiday: you are surrounded by wild nature, yet enjoy a level of comfort unusual for an ‘off-grid’ property. We offer different accommodations for various budgets and needs, from a large log cabin which can accommodate seven people, to cosy apartments for couples.

There are many walking routes and opportunities to do sport and exercise, or you can just laze around in the garden and read a book for an entire week!

Please contact us for more information.

The centrepiece of Les Gavatxes is the zendo, or meditation hall, and it is open to all our guests so that they have the opportunity to deepen their practice in a calm and distraction-free environment.

We offer many different courses here at Les Gavatxes, and are always open to suggestions for new ones. Discover our upcoming retreats and courses here.
