Retreat Location: The European Danda


European DandaThe retreat will be held at the European Danda, our Spiritually-Empowered Center in the south of the Netherlands. The Danda is the Spiritually Empowered Seat of Adi Da's Blessing in Europe. The Danda is a former monastery — a quiet place, and a place where Adi Da twice resided. It houses the largest collection in the world of Adi Da’s Transcendental Realist Art, and art tours and presentations will be offered during the retreat. Filled with Adi Da’s Presence, it is a perfect location to retire from worldly stress and distraction to sink into the deepest feeling of Reality Itself.
