Dhammadharini Monastery and Aranya Bodhi Hermitage are monastic facilities where we live and practice in community. We welcome visitors up to the capacity of our visitor lodgings. Visitors will be participating within the general monastic flow of the bhikkhunis' sangha with the monastics, trainees and other visitors. Visitors are expected to participate in the schedule of duties and practice programs of the monastery or hermitage. Some variations on support tasks and program attendance are possible through discussion with a senior monastic. Friends and supporters have blessed our monastic community with beautiful facilities for practice as well as the requisite of food. This leaves a few simple duties shared among residents and residential visitors: preparing food, keeping the spaces clean and maintained, transportation and minor purchases. Please fill out an application to apply for a residential visit of up to two weeks for your first visit, or for a longer stay for those who have been with us before. Day visitors are welcome at the Monastery for Dhamma programs, meal offering, evening Puja and meditation. The monastery is conveniently accessible by car or public transportation (map).
