Personal Retreat
Flexible Dates
A DHARMAKAYA CENTER FOR WELLBEING PROGRAM
Immerse yourself in the tranquil environment of our Center, as you leave the pressures of your normal life and take time to focus on yourself and your practice.
You can design your own personal retreat—whether a time of simple quiet contemplation, a few extra days at the beginning or end of a program, or intensive work on a specific practice. Meet with a resident lama to discuss your personal retreat goals and design your practice schedule. You’ll start each day with morning salutations and meditation, then let the days unfold, meditating in Milarepa Hall*, in the privacy of your room, or on a rock outside. Spending afternoons in the library. Hiking our 90-acre campus. Contemplating the stars while sitting by the fire pit. Restoring yourself.
You are encouraged to join our Tuesday and Sunday Meditation programs. However, you must purchase a ticket to attend any ticketed teachings, programs or other events.
DISCOUNTS
We offer a discount of 10% for week-long bookings; for bookings of two weeks or longer we offer a discount of 20%. Please write us at retreats@dharmakayacenter.org for the applicable discount code, which you will add during checkout.
AVAILABILITY
We can usually accommodate Personal Retreats even while other programs are occurring; every bedroom is equipped for practice, with a zafu, zabaton and shrine table. However, programs generally use the Meditation Hall, making it less available for individual meditation. Please check our calendar for any potential conflicts.
If the dates you want don’t appear to be available, please email us at retreats@dharmakayacenter.org; sometimes a program has reserved rooms that will, in fact, not be in use.
*Use of Milarepa Hall may be limited if there is a concurrent program or retreat.
