Practice quietly. Join the rhythm of land and community.

Dorje Denma Ling offers space for individual and small group retreats throughout the program season, based on the availability of accommodations.

These retreats are self-organized. Retreatants live alongside the resident community, supported with meals, daily structure, and access to practice spaces. The land is quiet and spacious. You are welcome to bring your own discipline and settle in.

2025 Dates that we will not be able to accommodate in-house retreats are July 21 – July 28 and October 17 – 26. We may be able to host an individual retreatant from August 1 – 30, but we will not be able to host group retreats in that time frame.

Please fill out the Request form before registering.
