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.

Karmê Chöling is the first land-based site established by the founder of Shambhala, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. For more than forty years, it has been an important retreat center for both new and experienced practitioners.
