Thanks Giving Meditation

This Thanksgiving season, embrace a unique opportunity to develop a sense of gratitude and appreciation by stepping away from the usual hustle and bustle of your holiday routine. Join us for a week-long Meditation Retreat, where instead you can experience a profound sense of peace and renewal.

While this retreat isn't strictly silent, you'll have ample time to immerse yourself in quiet reflection. Leaving behind the busyness of your usual schedule and arriving at a serene rural setting will offer you the chance to connect deeply with stillness and mindfulness. This journey allows you to fully appreciate the present moment, fostering a deep sense of calm and spaciousness. In this space, you can have true gratitude for the beauty of being present and the richness of each moment in your life.

During this retreat you'll be able to:

• Slow down and relax during the holidays
• Savor a mindfulness-awareness meditation retreat
• Transform how you relate to everyday life and yourself
• New meditators - receive meditation instruction from seasoned teachers in a supportive environment
• Experienced meditators - deepen your practice in a rich and gentle space
  
  

• Meditation instructions
• Dharma talks and discussions
• Contemplative one-bowl meals
• Periods of silent sitting meditation
• Walking meditation
• Contemplative work periods

Join us for seven days of meditation at Karmê Chöling. As the retreat unfolds, we will discover an atmosphere in which we can reconnect and appreciate ourselves, the natural world, and our human society.
