CITTAVIVEKA
​
CHITHURST BUDDHIST MONASTERY
How to Book
(Updated on 24 December 2024)
The men's and women's accommodations are located separately in the monastery, so bookings are also made separately. Please note that we are unable to guarantee single rooms for any guests.​​
Male Guests
​
For the three month period of January until the end of March, the monastic community at Cittaviveka monastery will be on silent retreat and will not be able to host any overnight guests in the regular way.
​
However, the monastery will still remain open for day visitors throughout the winter, and you are very welcome to participate in for example meditation sittings and pujas in the Dhamma Hall.
​
We will open up the guest booking system again on the 15th of March, so if you wish to inquire about staying in the spring, please contact us at that point.
​
We wish you the best for the new year.
Female Guests​
For the time of our silent 3-month winter retreat (January to March), we have invited a lay support team and can’t book any new guests.
If conditions permit, we will be open to new guests next April. The minimum stay policy might be revised depending on situations then.
If you are interested to visit between April and September 2025, please write again from April onwards. We are not able to consider any applications which have come in before that.
