Dugnad 2025

Dear friends of the monastery,

We are pleased to invite you to join us for our traditional “dugnad”, or work day, on Sunday 7 September, 2025.

These gatherings are particularly helpful for the monastery, as they allow us to carry out larger maintenance projects together. These are usually fun, friendly days, and all are warmly welcomed to join.

WHEN: Sunday 7 September, 2025, from 9:00-16:00 (you are welcome to join for only part (s) of the day if you see fit.)

WHERE: Lokuttara Vihara, Lundsveien 196, Skiptvet

MEAL: There will be a “Dana-meal” at 11:00. This means that the meal will consist of the offerings that are brought by the participants. It will first be offered to the monastic community and then shared by everyone. Please feel free to contribute as you wish.

TRANSPORTATION: If you need help with transportation, you might be able to coordinate with someone else via this Facebook group

This year, we would like to:

• Clear some of the forest paths to make them more accessible

• Look at some trees that might need felling

• Bring firewood to the farthest kuti (Kuti 4)
