Summer in Pardesa

How many people have stopped at Pardesa this summer! Whether for a retreat, to volunteer, for a day of mindfulness or to support our activities… we’re always cultivating the joy of togetherness, gratitude for being part of this Earth, and the peace that is revealed in the space between words and between thoughts. Supported by the rhythm of our daily practice we’ve been able to harvest the Earth’s gifts and to offer our contribution to enriching the soil and the food forest.

From France to Japan, from Turkey to Palermo passing through Germany, we’ve all experienced the joy of living a shared aspiration that is bigger than any of us alone. And with this treasure in our heart we’re ready for the coming fall season, which already promises some opportunities to practice together and, inshallah, the inauguration of the new house for hospitality.

With thanks to our recent volunteers: Hannes, Julia, Shoyo, Hinnerk, Tobias, Andrew, Stefanie, Heike, Assunta, Regina, Mirko, Paola, Camilla, Manuela, Rosario, Bára, Niccolò, Giulio, Mario, Domenico, Stefano, Marta, Tizio, Luisella and Marco; our co-facilitators and teachers Ilaria, Fabio and Anna, and all those who came to participate in our retreats, days of mindfulness and courses.
