Hospitality

The spirit of hospitality

Noggs will never be a business or a conference centre and we have decided never to profit from it financially. Noggs Barn is part of our house and as a person giving a talk or leading a retreat, or as someone attending an event, you are warmly invited into our home. Noggs Barn is not a public venue.

Noggs and Money

Our belief is that spiritual teaching and the sharing of wisdom cannot be valued in monetary terms. We are aware that some people have had to travel - sometimes very long distances - to visit us and we are very happy to ask for donations to cover all expenses. These are freely given, according to the means of the giver, and are, in no sense, an entrance fee. In this way it is possible to attend anything we put on at Noggs without paying any money at all. Indeed, this is what usually happens with most of the events we host. It is our policy not to accept donations for ourselves or for the running of Noggs Barn.
