TERRE DE SACHA




Terre de Sacha is a nature sanctuary nestled in the Pyrenees mountains in the
South-East of France, right on the boarder of Spain. Our three stone houses are
at least three hundred years old if not older, and are situated in a beautiful
and peaceful environment.

Here we gather in the summer months and over the winter holidays for meditation,
creativity and to receive the teachings of ShantiMayi. Those who come to Terre
de Sacha are sangha (ShantiMayi’s students), family and friends. Part of the joy
of being here is being together again. Terre de Sacha functions through
participation in cooking meals, gardening and maintenance of the grounds and the
houses. When we are together we live like a family. We all take responsibility
for making our gatherings work very well and they do.






PRIVATE SANCTUARY



Those who come here must have association with ShantiMayi or be affiliated with
Sacha sangha, family or friends. There are daily morning prayers for world
balance and awakening hearts. We chant the ancient Gayatri Mantra together.
Everyone is required to attend.

Seva is selfless service offered to maintain Terre de Sacha and the gathering:
such as cooking, cleaning the area, gardening, shopping, and so on. Everyone is
required to offer seva. There is your ‘own time’ everyday, time for yourself:
enjoying the deep raw nature, walks through Terre de Sacha’s eighty acres, going
down to the river and even perhaps walking in the mountains.

ShantiMayi creates the theme for the special time we have together according to
the people in the gathering. Upon arrival, and meeting the mix of people, it
becomes clear what direction we take. There are no set plans or programs, other
than the daily morning prayer and the evening talks.

Anything can change here and often does. This is our way. Gatherings are over a
two week period. We encourage the two weeks ( or more ) period. Being in Terre
de Sacha is a blessing, a delight and… with ShantiMayi. And being with sangha
and friends… and family ( like minded / hearted people )… is central to your
time here. To gather together in Terre de Sacha is a benefit to you in every
way.




IMPORTANT NOTICES



We eat nearly 100% organic and always vegetarian food.  We are not able to
accommodate different diets.   We eat simple and well. Responding to special
needs complicates our kitchen pantry, cooking and menus.  We try to oblige
people’s allergies.  For you who are gluten free, we will provide gluten free
pasta as part of meals; you may wish to bring your own bread and cookies.

We do not permit people to bring their animals to Terre de Sacha.

There is a simple dress code. Modest clothing, no short shorts, short skirts or
sleeveless vests or shirts. Please no low cut, tightly fitted or revealing
blouses / shirts. Tight pants must be worn with either a long shirt or dress
over them to cover the behind. This is a guideline for many ashrams /
sanctuaries and so on. It is not body shame… it is honouring of Spiritual
Teachings… as not to distract anyone for unnecessary attention.

We at Terre de Sacha attend to the ‘inner realms.’




GETTING HERE



Sangha and visitors travel from all over the world to come to Terre de Sacha.
 For those travelling from abroad, the nearest major airport is Barcelona
Airport – El Prat(BCN).  From there you can take either a bus or train to
Perpignan.   A number of daily buses leave Barcelona Nord Station; there are
fewer trains, particularly those travelling in the winter season, but those
available begin at Barcelona Sant Station.

There is a regional bus that frequently goes from Perpignan to Arles Sur Tech
(except on Sunday’s when there is limited travel).  Those traveling on scheduled
arrival/ departure dates (the fist and last date of the booking block),
arrangements can be made to pick you up at the Arles Sur Tech bus stop and take
you to Terre de Sacha.

While it is always good to confirm travel times directly with the travel
provider, Rome to Rio provides a helpful internet search for transportation and
scheduling options.
