Are meals provided? (click to expand)
The basic meals provided within Happy Stay are 100% vegan. However, as practitioners, we gratefully accept any food that is offered (dāna) without discrimination or attachment. In some cases, non-vegan food that is offered outside the village or in specially permitted spaces may be consumed with gratitude and mindfulness.
Do I need prior experience with meditation or veganism? (click to expand)
No prior experience is required. Happy Stay is a welcoming space for anyone interested in exploring meditation and mindful vegan living for the first time.
How long can I stay? (click to expand)
The minimum stay is 4 weeks. If you wish to extend your stay beyond this period, it can be discussed with the entire community. Extensions are welcomed when there is full consensus (unanimous agreement) among all members of the community. There is no strict maximum length — as long as harmony and mutual agreement are maintained, extended stays are possible.
Can I join again in the future? (click to expand)
Absolutely! Returning participants are always welcome. Many people choose to revisit Happy Stay to deepen their experience and reconnect with the community.
