Prepare for a course
A short list: comfortable clothes, a shawl, and what you need for your health.
Bring
Pack simply, for ten days of sitting and quiet living.
- Loose, modest, comfortable clothes for the whole course
- A shawl or light blanket for sitting
- Toiletries
- Any medicines you need, with a note of the doses
- A torch
- A water bottle
Leave at home
Valuables, books, writing materials and electronics. Phones and other devices that you do bring are handed in on arrival for safekeeping and returned at the end.
Clothing
Simple, modest, loose clothes suitable for sitting for long periods. Avoid tight, revealing or noisy clothing and jewellery.
Meals and special diets
Simple vegetarian meals are provided, so there is no need to bring food. Tell the centre about any medical diet when you apply.
