The Building

Tiger’s Nest was drawn from meditative inspiration and built in 1987-88. The house is 250 square meters, nine-sided, with windows on all sides and a large dome-shaped skylight at the top of the roof.

At the ground floor there are the entrance, a central room with a fountain, a kitchen, a living room, four smaller rooms used as workrooms and sleeping quarters, and three bathrooms. The floor is covered with yellow tiles, the walls are white chalked brick walls, and the rooms are furnished in a simple and functional way.

At the first floor is the room for meditation and courses. This room is nine-sided, too, lofty and with a large nine-sided skylight. The floor is made of wood, the walls are white chalked brick walls, there is a great stereo and the chairs and cushions needed.

Originally the idea was to build a round house. When this turned out to be too complicated and expensive, the house became nine-sided. Even so it was built around a centre. In all the rooms both at the ground floor and in the meditation room, the floors are oriented towards the centre of the building marked by the fountain at the ground floor and the dome-shaped skylight in the meditation room.

The house carries the impression of having been built for meditation. Almost 20 years of practice has given it an aura of beauty, intensity and peace.

Tiger’s Nest is situated in calm, rural surroundings with a view to fields and the Garden in the small town Gedved in eastern Jutland. Around the building there is a garden with terraces. The garden adjoins the Field and the Garden. Course attendants are welcome in the Field and the Garden.
