We are pleased to announce KSC’s return to Buckhorn Springs for our Personal Practice Retreat in 2025. We invite you to join Lama Pema and Lama Yeshe in quiet contemplation and meditation amidst the rare beauty of Buckhorn Springs.
 
This retreat focuses on individual meditation, with three, 90-minute sessions each day for individuals to study and practice in solitude.  Lama Yeshe and Lama Pema will set aside time before the retreat to discuss your current practices and study interests. Integrating their feedback and recommendations, you will design your practice day and know what supportive materials to bring with you. There will be periods of silence, daily dharma talks and group meditation periods with instruction. A special component of this retreat is the development of mindfulness-in-action through completing some basic tasks for Buckhorn Springs, which helps to reduce participants’ costs.
 
All are welcome to this retreat, both beginning and returning students.

  • Fees: $575 - double occupancy;  $675 - single occupancy (a limited number are available)

  • Includes vegetarian lunches and dinners. (Please provide your own breakfasts. Full kitchens are available to all.)
