"Muranna" Program - Mornington Peninsula, Victoria - July-September 2001

The Gyuto Monks are resident in the centre of the Mornington Peninsula at 'Muranna', a beautiful retreat built on the site of the 1860's Tubbarubba Goldfields, 15 mins from Mornington, where they have established a temporary meditation centre. A small meditation hall will be the centre of activities there, and in addition, the monks will travel to various locations to offer sessions.

Programs on offer will be supplemented by outreach programs in other parts of the Peninsula and other special events.

Preparations for the construction of a permanent stupa are already underway making small clay statues and rolling mantras in community workshops.

Special visits to schools & community groups arranged on request

All sessions listed will be held at 'Muranna', unless otherwise stated.
