This is a job we have talked years about doing. Thanks to a generous donor we have been able to facilitate this renovation. We have joined a small auxiliary shrine space with a “garage”. The two rooms make up 50 square metres. It will serve as our shrine room for now and free up the living space above. I can imagine up to 40 persons meditating or up to 20 doing yoga!
Since its purchase in 2026 we have had a flexible living space come shrine room we has never been easy for the folks living and working at Suryavana.
We plan to press on ahead with an even more ambitious build; reconstructing the old “corral” over the patio an 80-90 square metre structure, connected to the main house.
But there is considerable paperwork to get through before that happens.
