Description: A six-week residential workshop aimed to explore carpentry at the intersection of contemplative practice, craft and sustainability. The programme is structured as a three-week intensive training period followed by a three-week practicum. The practical focus will be hands-on work to assist in the creation, maintenance and furnishing of Dharmalaya Institute’s beautiful natural buildings. The workshop will be supported by a healthy lifestyle with time for daily contemplative practice (e.g. yoga, chi-kung, meditation), providing precious opportunities to work with the connection between body, awareness and breath, and to improve our focus and patience, bringing us closer to finding the harmony between restfulness and productivity.
