Maribo Retreat with Ajahn Nitho, November 2026.
Inspiration Center Danmark, Hunseby Kirkevej 13, 4930 Maribo
A quiet 3 days meditation retreat in Denmark, with the norwegian monk Ajahn Nitho and co-organized with The Buddhist Society of Norway. This will be the first retreat maybe ever, that a nordic monk from early buddhism teaches a retreat in Denmark. It’s also the first retreat the society is hosting.
The retreat takes place the 12th - 15th of November at the idyllic Inspiration Center Danmark in Maribo, in the southern part of Denmark. There is space for 25 participants. The retreat will consist of teachings, guiding, Q&A, private interviews, and lots of time for own practice.
All teaching will be held in english, and Ajahn Nitho can furthermore understand danish as well as offer teachings in norwegian to individuals.
Single-room for all for maximum support for meditation with shared bathrooms. Welcome to everyone whether completely new to meditation or with experience!
A warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Address: Inspiration Center Danmark, Hunseby Kirkevej 13, 4930 Maribo
With the venue in Maribo’s comfortable surroundings and calming atmosphere, it sets an idyllic scene for our retreat.
THE VENUE. We rent the whole place, so we have access to all rooms and outdoor areas for the ideal conditions for learning, practising comfortably and development in meditation.
ACCOMMODATION. Everyone gets a single room, with shared bathrooms. Dining hall, big meditation hall and sofa areas for those who wish to ‘’hygge’’ with a book and a warm cup.
FOOD. The retreat center makes delicious vegetarian food as well as baking their own sourdough bread. There will be filling breakfast and lunch, as well as a light evening snack.
OBS: If you due to health reasons need a more filling meal in the evening or certain foods, please bring these along yourself.
