Carpooling
SHALL WE TRAVEL TOGETHER?
To come to this retreat, Ryumonji temple is offering a car-sharing scheme so that you can share petrol and toll costs, while reducing your carbon footprint. It's also an opportunity to meet other retreatants :)
Use our online carpooling system. Simply click on the event that interests you to offer a place or to look for a car.

Here are some new features:
- For each event, a better view on the map of the proposed routes, with explicit mention of the stages.
- For an event, you can choose the date of your journey, so that you can see all the people who are coming, for example, for the preparation or simply the sesshin, but who might be leaving together.
- By creating a profile, you can personalise the notifications to find out if a message has been sent to you, if a journey matches your request, define a home address without having to repeat it, etc.
- The MobiCoop application is available on Android and IOS so you can keep track of your requests in your pocket ;o)
