Invitation for female Buddhist monastics to Visit Karuna Vana Retreat Center in Sardinia, Italy

Dear Venerable Sisters,

We are writing to warmly invite you to visit Karuna Vana, a retreat center nestled in the serene landscapes of Sardinia, Italy. Karuna Vana was inaugurated in May 2024 with a special blessing ceremony led by the Bhikkhuni of  Anenja Vihara from Rettenberg, Germany.

The purpose of Karuna Vana is to:

• Offer female Buddhist monastics a peaceful and quiet place to reside, whether for a short or extended period.

• Accommodate a small number of practitioners, including men, seeking to retreat from the busyness of the world, meditate, and develop both mind and heart.

• Make the teachings of the Dhamma accessible to all, regardless of financial means.

• Provide a beautiful, nature-immersed space where one can live in mindfulness, peace, and awareness.

We would be honored to welcome female monastics to Karuna Vana, whether to lead meditation retreats (short or long), offer Dhamma teachings, or simply visit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

We would be most grateful if you would consider visiting Karuna Vana to share your wisdom and presence with the community. Please feel free to contact us for further details or to arrange a visit.

With metta and gratitude
