Practice Opportunities

Each year we hold two intensive retreats in which a small group focuses on meditation, visualization and mantra recitation without interruption for 7-10 days. All chanting is done in English with traditional melodies and instruments in an environment of silence. Those who have already received initiation and are interested in participating in such accomplishment retreats, please contact gar.trust.retreats@gmail.com to be notified of future practice opportunities.
