I have set this up so that everyone planning to do the full 3 year retreat get come together and discuss, support and organise ourseleves as a sangha, instead of fragmented individuals. This will help the organising team by us helping each other without relying on them. God knows they are over burden as it is. Also we could help ourselves by bulk buying common items we think are necessary for our stay in LL, eg a firm bed mattress for me, a kettle...
Please lets begin by being together in this and participate. This will definitely create an auspicious start to the retreat by being of one mandala !

Thanks for doing this Boon - it is very new to me also.
As I have not been to LL I have no idea what is need, what is possible to bring. I have applied to live in the dormitory so would dearly love to know what will be there.
eg bedside table/drawers, lamp, power point, floor covering endless - details especially any hints about how to keep warm.
Bulk buys - mediation cushion (why carry such a bulky item)
