retreat house: cal toha

Cal Toha is an old peasant farmhouse with thick limestone walls. It was recently renovated in a simple style using traditional building techniques and materials. With the addition of new ecological technologies it has been turned into a beautiful but simple house. It is ideal for retreats or courses for groups of between 8 and 16 people.

The space: The dinning area will seat up to 16 people comfortably. There is a well equipped kitchen with a gas cooker, a lounge area, and a dormitory style bedroom. Additinal sleeping spaces are provided in yurts and cabins nearby. A large yurt provides an ideal meditation and workshop space.

Beneath the house is a cave which is used throughout the year as a meditation space. And we are in the process of establishing a small library of books on Buddhism, ecology and social change, which is available to all visitors.

Other facilities include: Solar water heater for washing and shower facilities, compost toilets, solar powered lighting and sockets to support laptops using auto/air 12v adaptors, an inverter to supply 220/240v is available if necessary.
