Spirituelle Gemeinschaft Deutschland

An International Community

Be as you are

“It is possible that the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community practicing understanding and loving kindness, a community practicing mindful living. This may be the most important thing we can do for the survival of the earth”.                           

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Open Sky House is a spiritual community and retreat center that was founded by John David (formerly known as Premananda), a spiritual teacher and author, in Germany in 1992. The community is based on the principles of self-inquiry, meditation, creativity and spiritual growth, and it provides a supportive environment for individuals who are seeking to deepen their understanding of themselves and the nature of reality.

It is a vibrant international meeting place and we are always welcoming visitors and volunteers.

A supportive and nurturing environment

The Open Sky House community is a truly unique and special place that offers a supportive and nurturing environment for individuals on their inner journey to freedom. One of the most remarkable aspects of daily life in the community is the sense of warmth and connection that permeates every aspect of the communal living experience.

Residents of the Ashram in Germany come together in a spirit of openness, authenticity, and love. This sense of community creates a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore and deepen their inner work without fear of judgment or isolation.

 

A deep sense of belonging

The ashram in Germany also offers a wide range of practices and activities designed to support the inner journey to freedom. These include meditation, yoga, conscious communication, and other embodied practices that help individuals connect more deeply with their inner selves and cultivate a greater sense of inner peace and harmony.

Perhaps most importantly, the community provides a space for individuals to connect with others who are on a similar path of self-discovery and growth. The sense of belonging and support that comes from being part of such a community can be truly transformative, helping individuals to break free from old patterns and beliefs and discover their true potential.
