A Hermitage in the Kootenays

In June 2020, a tiny house was purchased, which now serves as shelter and refuge to Bhante Ānanda, in the West Kootenay mountains of Blewett, a nearby community of Nelson, BC. 

The tiny house is not yet offered, so it remains to be paid for,  but it is temporarily available for a monk to reside in, until it can be fully purchased from its owners, by supporters of the HeartDhamma community. 

The kuti was a tiny house, purchased unfinished. A lot of extra work and offerings needed to be done to complete it and to take care of it’s surrounding. Many more external donations were made to help along the project which are not included in the display below.

Many people have also helped building, fixing, adding and financing.

The manifestation of the kuti and thereby, this tiny hermitage, 

has been a most fortuitous and auspicious event to many.
