Buddha-autumn
Moulin de Chaves Meditation Centre
(Formerly Tapovan)



Le Moulin is 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 bringing Awakening into all of life.

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. 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.

(Moulin de Chaves is the original name of the water mill built here in the mid-19th Century.)
Moulin de Chaves is a Non profit Association.
