This retreat offers a multitude of traditional meditation techniques that have been passed down through the Tibetan lineage.
The word Shamatha in the Tibetan language is "shi-ne", which means to “pacify our thoughts and agitation of the mind.” The goal is to calm the mind and bring it into one pointed concentration. Through the practice of calming the mind, clarity naturally arises and allows us to engage with life with compassion and wisdom.
Join us for instruction and training in the art of meditation by working with internal and external objects of focus: mantras, silence, sitting, nature walks, mindful breathing and even conscious eating. Learn how to practice mental calmness in any action throughout the day so we may organize our thoughts, develop more patience and tolerance, cultivate love, compassion, and interior peace.
Whether you are a long time meditator, or just beginning, you will find gems of wisdom to deepen your practice. Drupon Lama Dorje is an experienced meditation master of the Drikung Kagyu Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism- with over 30 years of meditation experience (4 of which were done in completed silent solitude in the mountains of India).

This retreat will be only mindful communication and no use of technology.
We will get an opportunity to tune into our greatest technology: the mind.
With the support of being held in a pristine nature reserve filled with tropical flowers, a delightful waterfall and river, and peaceful nooks in the rainforest, our meditation becomes stronger and more stable. The meals are fresh, healthy, local and vibrant. The drinking water comes straight from fresh springs in the mountains which carry essential minerals that restore our bodies.
This retreat nurtures a state of inner peace that serves as a reference point for when we enter back into the world, equipped with tools to carry mindfulness throughout our lives.
The benefits of learning and deepening our practice of mindfulness is that we can live life more fully, being truly present for each moment and every interaction. Life becomes much more vibrant!
