The Progress of the Meditation Centre!

The Meditation centre is taking shape with the placement of the grass roof.




                    An incredible retaining rock wall!





     The Water tank perched upon its tower high on the land.





                       The grass roof is progressing nicely!



I am imagining sitting under this huge alang-alang roof, looking out over the Bali Sea, running a meditation retreat. My dream is manifesting before my eyes!

Beginnings of a Meditation Centre

      Ceremony to thank the Gods for the new building.








The Meditation Centre is well under way. Workers are busy putting the roof trusses in place in preparation for the alang-alang roof, which will go on next week!




This shows a worker looking out of the bedroom at the back of the meditation area.The area for meditation is an open deck looking out over the Bali Sea.





There will be a mezzanine floor (for extra beds and a desk for writing) above the bedroom. The large triangular window in the mezzanine  will have an amazing view of the ocean as will the window from our bedroom.


The water tower is at the highest point of the land. We decided to make use of the space beneath the tower, so designed a room that can be a laundry and kitchenette and storage room all in one.

 On the left side of the roof will be a solar hot water system.

The view from underneath this tree is spectacular. We might put a bale here or just an outdoor table and chairs to sit at while we eat or have a cup of tea.
