Summer Weekend 2026

At Majvik Congress Hotel
Kirkkonummi, near Helsinki, Finland

Summer Weekend 3-5 July 2026

Take two and a half days out of your busy life to come to Majvik this weekend. It might not seem long enough to make much difference to your life. But come, drop into your presence and dwell there. To rest in presence is utterly timeless. It's the space where your life really happens, where there's nothing going on. Your presence is where your life continously arises. It is where your love comes from too. There's no past in presence - obviously - and therefore no time either. Time is pressure. Being with me in a shared space of presence removes the pressure and the past, where your life-problems come from and where there is no love, because, as the song says, love is now or never. So come for the weekend, slip out of time and be with love.

The Congress Hotel
Majvik is an art-noveau chateau on a hill overlooking the Baltic sea near Espoo. It is 25km from the centre of Helsinki and about 30 minutes’ drive from the airport at Vantaa. You’ll be staying in a large modern conference hotel in the Majvik grounds, which drop down through forest to the shore. There’s a sauna where guests can swim in the sea, but there’s also an indoor pool and a stylish spa.
