Accommodation Options


St. Marys Villa

An old stone, rambling ground floor place right next to and overlooking a deep green valley, off the old Mumbai-Pune highway.  The facilities are simple and inexpensive.  There are large open spaces, some with shade, and sufficient semi open, shaded areas for holding smaller sessions throughout the day. There is a hall for full strength sessions in the mornings and after dinner.

The 100 bed dormitory is a great place for all to bond as families.  We could even
have Mamas on one end, Papas on the other and all the children together in the middle :-) Those who wish to be as families together can also do so.  Come with the idea of camping together!

Facilities and rules:

Big ground for games and sports.

Small beautiful lawn with trees for sitting and quiet sessions. No games allowed.

Many lovely spots for holding small sessions.

Overlooking beautiful green valley – good for a trek down.

Lights off at 11pm (stretchable till 12).

Hotplate/induction stove allowed for heating milk and small stuff.

Strict food timing non negotiable (in case of sessions delay).

Hot water 7 - 8am and 6 – 8pm. Timings are fixed.

No sticking on walls as they are of stone and hard to clean. Can tie. Plenty of wooden beams.

Generator is free from 7 – 10 pm. If required in the day, it is chargeable.

Only 1-2 persons to co-ordinate with Steven. He doesn’t want everyone to be approaching with problems! Nikhil Trivedi will be the person to contact for problems and liaison with Steven  and Urmila will assist him.  Any problems re. accommodation to be told before 5pm before workers go home.  Any problems re. food only to be told to Steven not the workers.
