Nalandabodhi Practice Retreat

The Nalandabodhi Practice Retreat is a residential meditation retreat in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, held at Drala Mountain Center in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. It is meant for practitioners who want to spend six nights in a contemplative community, with time set aside for sustained practice in a mountain setting.

What to Expect

The retreat runs for six nights and follows a structured practice schedule. Participants check in at the Guest Services Cabin on the first day, where the program schedule is provided on arrival. The days that follow are given to structured contemplative sessions alternating with community practice periods. On the final day the retreat closes and guests go through checkout.

The atmosphere is that of a community-based contemplative environment, where the shared rhythm of practice is part of the support for each person's own meditation.

The Setting

Drala Mountain Center sits in the mountains near Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. Lodging at the center is part of the program, with six nights of residential accommodation on site, and participants have access to the retreat facilities. Having practice, rest and lodging in one place keeps the days simple and uninterrupted.

Meals are not included unless separately specified, so it is worth confirming food arrangements with the center before arriving. Transportation is also not included, and guests should plan their own travel to the center.
