Group meditation retreat practice and study is essential for Buddhist practitioners. Practicing with those of like mind can advance the understanding and realization inherent within Buddhist practice.

We encourage all tantrikas to attend the Vajrayana Garchen: Shambhala Dzogcehn Retreat with Sakyong Jamgön Mipham Rinpoche this summer. Take part in one of five practice intensives—Chakrasamvara, Mahamudra, Ngöndro, Vajrayogini or Werma—led by an acharya.

Richard Reoch, President of Shambhala, expresses the Sakyong’s vision for the development of Shambhala Mountain Center and the role of practice. (May 2008)

If you are interested in a solo retreat, we recommend that you consider our sister retreat center Dorje Khyung Dzong, located in Southern Colorado.
