Item Description

 

Visit Karme Choling in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom for one week of an immersive meditation retreat. Discover meditation, learn about Shambhala, and explore the forested trails on Karme Choling's more than 700 acres of forest.

This week-long group meditation retreat is a powerful introduction to and deepening of mindfulness-awareness meditation. Each day consists of periods of sitting and walking meditation, chants, and dharma talks and students will receive individual meditation instruction regularly throughout the retreat. Each retreat is led by a senior teacher within the Shambhala tradition.

On more than 700 acres of rolling Vermont countryside, Karmê Chöling is a magical place with a one-acre organic vegetable and flower garden, woodland walking trails, and limitless stars that fill the night skies.

Steeped in over 40 years of contemplative practices, Karmê Chöling offers retreats and programs that can awaken us to a deeper sense of self and community, restore us to our natural state of well-being and uncover the compassion and wisdom inherent in each of us.

Located in Vermont, Karmê Chöling has been an important Shambhala retreat and program center for both new and experienced practitioners. It is the first land-based site established by the founder of Shambhala, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a 20th century Buddhist meditation master.
