Welcome to Karmê Chöling

Meditation in the Green Mountains of Vermont

Karmê Chöling offers meditation retreats, Buddhist study seminars, training in contemplative arts and body practices — a variety of programs to enrich body, mind and heart. We are committed to the view that all aspects of life can be inspired and informed by wisdom and compassion, the basic goodness that is our birthright as human beings.

One of the first meditation centers established in North America, Karmê Chöling is nestled in 700 acres of wooded hills in Vermont's Green Mountains and includes seven meditation halls, a large organic garden, comfortable private guest rooms, and full dining facilities.

Learn to meditate in one of our Simplicity retreats, deepen your meditation experience as a participant in the Mukpo Institute residency program, or incorporate contemplative practices into your professional life through Tail of The Tiger.
