Mornings of Practice in the Bush 2022
Once again in 2022, Victor von der Heyde will be offering what has proved to be from 2018 a very popular series of mornings of practice at the Hut of the Happy Omen in Cheltenham.
​

The morning has sittings, walking periods in the bush, a talk, a discussion and a shared lunch.

The next date for 2022 is: 
  • Sunday 27 March - open for bookings

See Bookings for details.
​

The talk and discussion on the 27th March is "Samadhi Practice - Part 2".

The mornings will be in silence from 9:30 to 1:00pm apart from the discussion and any necessary communication. They will be all-weather events. If it's wet we'll be looking out on rain in the bush.

The Hut of Happy Omen
The Hut was built in 1949 by Marie Byles, one of the founding members of the Buddhist Society of NSW. It was built for dharma practice and it is very much in it's original condition with original furnishings. It is now owned by the National Trust and part of Marie Byles larger property called Ahimsa Sanctuary. It is mostly open on one side and looks out over bushland, part of Pennant Hills Park, and over the small house where Marie Byles lived. There's established walking tracks in the bush accessible from the Hut.

The Hut is about a half hour drive from the Sydney CBD and a fifteen minute walk from Cheltenham station in north western Sydney.

We're grateful to the National Trust for being able to use The Hut of Happy Omen.

When 9:30am to 2:00pm
The schedule will be:
   9:10 - 9:30 arrive
   9:30 - 10:15 sit
   10:15 - 10:45 walk / tea
