Winter Retreat Opportunities for the 2020/21 Season

Dorje Denma Ling is pleased to offer four retreat opportunities in Gyatso lodge.

Retreatants will bring their own food which can be prepared in the shared kitchen. DDL staff will support retreatants with supplemental shopping as needed.

All retreatants are welcome to enjoy the land and walking trails around the property, and access internet. Social distancing, hand washing/sanitizing guidelines still apply outside and in the office building.

There is no minimum stay. A 15% discount will be applied to registrations 14 nights or longer. The price assumes single occupancy. No outside visitors are permitted.

Your practice during retreat is your choice. As long as you respect the privacy of other retreatants and occupancy guidelines set by Dorje Denma Ling, you can otherwise come and go as you please.

• Each of the four retreat areas will include two rooms: one bedroom and one practice space, plus a private shower and bathroom area.
