Moulin de Chaves

Home

The Moulin is first and foremost a place 'to be', a place for connection with oneself, with others and with Nature. We offer a beautiful setting, caring supportive conditions, and practices and teachings for awakening our life, awakening to Life itself.

Grounded in the Buddhist tradition of Vipassana or Insight Meditation, Le Moulin hosts a varied selection of retreats, workshop and courses with resident teacher Martin Aylward and invited teachers in both the Buddhist tradition and in various contemporary approaches to awakening.

To stay at Le Moulin is to explore heart, body and mind through silent meditation, individual and group guidance, discussion and dialogue, and community support.

Be nourished by our warm supportive atmosphere, inspiring and beautiful gardens, and delicious, mostly organic meals... as well as the transformative inner work of training the mind and freeing the heart!

People from any or no spiritual background are welcome, with or without previous meditation experience. Families are also welcome as part of our integrated approach to awakening in the midst of life!

Whether you come and join in one of the retreats or events or just come as a personal retreatant, staying for any length of time from May to August….. Bienvenue, we look forward to meeting you here.

The Moulin is unique. Authentic, clear teachings, a spacious daily routine and

touched me. Thanks so much -

		We have enjoyed seeing many people pass through the doors and the gardens of Le moulin this season, as we offered many different retreats with resident teacher Martin Aylward as well as other visiting teachers. We very much enjoyed our Summer Dharma Gathering, which was made very special by having lots of children around, who not only meditated but also put on a theatre show for us! Check out our calendar for next year, which offers another varied and interesting programme. Details and costs of each event will be added soon. Meanwhile we wish you all a peaceful winter and hope to welcome you next year to the Moulin Martin, Gail, Ian and Caroline
