That’s a beautiful hole in the ground!

Sadhu & good luck. Have you some idea about inauguration date or is it too early to know now?

Well, the building itself will be finished by March next year. Then we still have to do all the interior fittings, electricity, plumbing, heating, floors, kitchen, bathroom, etc… :sweat_smile: That depends a lot on donations and volunteers, so we don’t have a final date yet. :slightly_smiling_face:

And if ever some foreign monastics would like to come and visit, this is what you can look forward to when applying for a religious visa:

Sadhu sadhu sadhu! It’s coming along well.
I spent some of my childhood in Belgium and think it’s awesome you’re building a nuns monastery there.
