Choosing a Date

The number of par­tici­pants enrolling in the retreats varies over the year. In the main sea­son (December to April) the retreat may get quite crowded, while from June to Novem­ber it is very peace­ful and calm. If you can choose the time to come, you may want to pick Retreatstatistic the latter period.

The diagram shows how the number of par­tici­pants var­ies through the year.

Female (46%) and male (54%) par­tici­pants have a fairly even share. For most of the par­tici­pants, a re­treat at the Inter­na­tional Dharma Her­mit­age is their first con­tact with medita­tion. How­ev­er there is a more or less constant per­centage (about 9%) of "old friends" (partici­pants who have done at least three re­treats at the In­ter­national Dharma Her­mit­age) sup­port­ing the new­comers.
