Good meditation instruction but could you pls solve the bug issue? It’s super annoying to be surrounded by flying bugs in the meditation room. It hurts the experience

This is my go to place when I need peace and a place to feel safe and calm. My experiences here throughout the years (I discovered jikoji maybe 10 years ago (!)) have been without fail a balm when I need it most. The gentleness of every aspect of this environment (physical structures, natural environment, people inhabiting) takes me out of my vortex and helps me land back on solid ground. I'm very grateful to have found this place and grateful to the people who maintain its peaceful and kind energy
