Month-long Retreat & Lerung 2026
In-Person @ Diamond Mountain
March 20 – April 20, 2026
We warmly invite you to join us at magical Diamond Mountain for a month-long retreat. If you are a practitioner of the open or Diamond Way and wish to connect with fellow retreatants while receiving guidance on deepening your retreat experience, this opportunity is perfect for you!
This retreat welcomes individuals who have some prior experience with solo retreats and are eager to embark on a month-long journey. You will have the freedom to select your own content, while we provide the support necessary for a fulfilling experience.
For those practicing Diamond Way, we are here to assist you with your Lerung.
The process begins with you collaborating with your teacher to design the content and schedule of your retreat. Initially, we will offer classes, Q&A sessions, and guidance on how to prepare effectively. Together, we will create tormas and establish the boundaries for your retreat. To conclude the experience, we will also prepare and conduct a fire ceremony together.
We are here for you 24/7 to support and assist your retreat: physical, emotional, spiritual.
