The vision is that people are selfresponsible for their life, income, and activities, there is no central administration for everybody, instead we are living together like in a spiritual village, supporting each other , and of course, inspired by Osho�s Meditations , also we respect nature, grow vegetables and salads, flowers, fruits , collect herb teas, make our own jams, in short, we like to live with nature, from spring to summer we have the evening satsang in the garden, when possible, looking into our old fruit trees, listening to Osho and the birds in the background.
13. Do you want to add something for RebelliousSpirit.com readers?
Shangri La is in a very wild, romantic, hilly landscape with huge forest, hidden lakes, a treat for nature lovers. The house is in a very quite place, no cars, no factories, and no lightpollution in the nights, so there are real full moons and dark nights as well. We have a brandnew ecological heating system, a heatpump, our own ecological sewage system (some distance away from the house), and we have become something like a caravanserai for travelling sannyasins, a meeting place for friends, where Meditation is happening, without strict rules. Coming and going, in this quite beautiful oasis of peace.
We have a pottery workshop, and space for creative activities.
Note: Answers were given in April 2002.
If you have your own experience with Shangri La, we invite you to share it with others. It can be very helpful. Also this is a way how you can support Shangri La.
