Personal Retreats

Providing an opportunity for spiritual nourishment within an environment that encourages quiet contemplation and meditation. Personal retreats are intended to help one deepen their personal practice. They can be arranged throughout the year and tailored to meet your individual needs. We require our personal retreat guests to have attended a retreat or workshop sponsored by any of our affiliated organizations or have the recommendation of a program director or senior student. If you have any questions about this requirement, please contact us.

PROGRAM

Your retreat schedule will be customized to reflect your retreat goals. Guests may want to focus on meditation, reading and contemplation, Kum Nye, walking in nature, writing, or pursuit of creative endeavors. We invite all retreat guests to work with the Sacred Text Project at the Yeshe De Bindery for a few hours a day.

One of our personal retreat coordinators will talk with you prior to your arrival, to help plan your retreat, so that you can make the most of your time, once you are here.
