A Place to be Real Together

Othona at Marion Dunlop House

This event is hosted by Othona, not at Othona's Community House but at Marion Dunlop House (MDH), a comfortable small retreat centre in Dorchester. We are grateful to our friends in the Fellowship of Meditation who own and look after MDH.

One or more Othona core members will be present and the ethos will be one of a mini-community that you become part of, just as at our own centre.

You can see much more about the house, its well-tended garden and other facilities here (N.B. prices quoted there are for Fellowship of Meditation members and events, not relevant to Othona's event charges).

It's worth noting that: 

  • MDH is less than 10 minutes walk from Dorchester South and Dorchester West railway stations. We encourage travel by train.
  • There is limited free parking space at the house. Most parking in Dorchester is charged from 8.00am to 6.00pm. For free on-street parking you will need to walk about 10 minutes.
  • MDH bedrooms are more spacious than at Othona on the whole, but as at Othona there are no en-suite facilities. MDH has no ground floor bedrooms.
  • MDH is in a quiet road but close to the centre of Dorchester with its notable museums, historic remains and varied shops.
