"Life itsef", a "semi-monastic co-living hub" which is supposed to be "a place for experimentation, exploration, and learning, where people can engage in self-work, creative work, and spiritual practices" yet has only two and a half hours in the morning and three in the evening for unscheduled time to practice these. If I just do my yoga-qigong-kungfu, the morning space is filled, and do my normal morning meditation in the three hours in the afternoon. No time for experimentation, exploration or learning.

There are also in the direction of twenty people on the team with all kinds of expertise. This whole thing smells like the opposite of a monastic space, which usually consists of an abundance of time and space. Here it seems to be overflowing with all kinds of "modernized" practices and ideas about how that time and space is supposed to be filled. The absence of that normally characterises a monastic space.

I am probably misreading it, but I still wanted to post this. The blog post seems like normal psycho-development.
