THE DHARMA ASHRAM

The Dharma Ashram is in the tranquil hills and mountains surrounding Veliko Tarnovo in Bulgaria. We’ve been here the best part of 20 years running teacher training courses and retreats, and now its time for change.

VEGETARIAN & VEGAN

We are vegetarian so this will appeal to people of a similar disposition. We are also alcohol and drug free, and again this will appeal to people of a similar disposition.

OPEN MINDS

The world appears to be going through a time of change, and things that only recently seemed normal, we are now being told is abnormal. If you have a similar outlook you’ll know what we mean. We are encouraging people with open minds to visit to discuss topics freely without dogma. This will always be from a peaceful non-harm standpoint.

INTERVENTIONS

There have been medical interventions, sometimes imposed on people which we find totally unacceptable. if you are of a like minded disposition, you will feel comfortable and safe here at the Dharma Ashram.

THE ASHRAM

The Ashram is set up as a residential yoga centre, with en suite rooms, a yoga studio, a small pool and yoga equipment. There are large grounds with an orchard and lots of trees.

TIME FOR CHANGE

We are now building a space for open minded people to come and visit and to talk openly on topics such as yoga and yoga philosophy, the current world political position, self-healing, foraging, self-reliance, personal responsibility, developing and maintaining the ability to stand back and observe the way the world seems be heading, and realising we have the ability to create a world in our own image, and the maturity to understand what it is we need, not want!

YAMA & NIYAMA

We come from a background in yoga, so we have the ethical and moral guidelines of the Yamas and Niyamas to guide us. We realise other disciplines will have their own ethical and moral guidelines. This is fine, so long as we are acting from a peaceful and non-harmful view point.

SKILLS

We are not asking for fixed payments and we will always where possible accept seekers regardless of their circumstances. However, as you can imagine a big centre needs lots of maintenance and the revenue from the courses and retreats have always paid for this.

DONATIONS

We are not selling retreats and courses, so we are asking for donations and or skills exchange. We will not set a minimum donation, we’ll leave it up to you to decide what’s a fair exchange.

EXPECTATIONS

Daily tasks such as shopping, cleaning, cooking, mowing the lawn, washing etc. will be undertaken by everyone.
