The daily programme begins with the breakfast from 7:45 to 8:30 am and the common meditation on the 16th Karmapa is at 8:30 am. Since that moment the jobs and activities have been distributed: some people go to the wood, some are working with diggers, some are helping in the house or kitchen, some groups are joining the meetings or work in the offices of architects and IT teams. In fact, everybody can find some activity which he or she likes or some time for meditation or entertainment with friends. At 1 pm there is a really good lunch always prepared in the basement, where we all eat together. And in the afternoon the work continues until the sound of gong which announces a dinner time. Coffee and cakes are always prepared for us. Some days are now very special for everybody, because Ole came down from his book retreat and helps us with cutting down the trees. Such a day is then much more interesting and the daily common meditation at 8 pm is a nice rounding of the whole day.
