Set aside three days for a solitary retreat on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. These winterized retreat cabins, complete with woodstoves, are ideal for all seasons and contemplative pursuits.

Milk Lake is a rural retreat centre nestled in rolling farm country about one hour and 20 minutes southwest of Halifax, in Nova Scotia’s beautiful and scenic South Shore. Three large, well-appointed cabins offer quiet seclusion for retreat or time alone for meditation and contemplation; writing, study, or artistic endeavours; or simply getting out into the country for relaxation in a peaceful, uplifted environment.

Milk Lake is owned by Shambhala International, an organization founded by the late renowned Tibetan meditation master Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and currently led by his son and successor Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.
