It is late Thursday evening in the EC and all the guests, who showed up for the evening meditation are already heading home.. It has become a nice habit to invite people from the area and anywhere to join us for the Thursday meditation, but tonight was even more special! The EC team has some really wonderful traveling teachers who together with visiting teachers are now going to give introductory talks for beginners every Thursday, with Danas from Lithuania giving the talk today. In addition to that, Mondays are being planned to be open as well. Combined with the constantly growing library, which contains books and booklets in various languages, that is all we need now for spreading the Dharma in the EC. The rest of the time is for work..

The old villa is a castle of hidden treasuries. You may go on over the house again and again and you will always find some new peace of furniture, old, but in-style, cosy, but with character. Just the kind for our new office, where combined with some touch of modern convenience we managed to get the most wonderful ensemble. The hall on the first flour is not just a spacious place now – it has become the space where the most brilliant ideas of our wonderful people will flourish, where the group of five architects coming this weekend could work.. And visitors we still get every day, including the health inspection this morning as well as some special guest from the architecture background coming tomorrow.

Jurgen from Germany, one of the first inhabitants of the EC, got an amazing birthday cake today.. And as for the presents, what can be better than a helping hand of some friends, who have recently come to help for a while. Susanne – the most wonderful lady, whose cleaning procedures soon might well turn the EC into the pure land.. Livor – who came to help with the painting works and Lisa who has recently replaced our unbelievable cook Nicklas from Sweden, teaching at the moment in Eastern Europe, and is head-over-heals treating us in such a kitchen-wise way.. It is most kind thing to be helped, and, friends, we will definetly plan some more of it soon.

Yours,
EC team
