In addition to guided and silent meditations,
dharma talks, heart-opening chanting and private
interviews, this retreat will also feature
optional and uplifting Tibetan Energy Yoga each
morning. Outside of the teaching hall, the
precious gift of Noble Silence is observed,
allowing us the peace and spaciousness to explore
the mind, as well as to rest and retreat from the
busyness of everyday life chatter. In addition
to formal sessions, there is plenty of
opportunity to enjoy the beautiful natural
surroundings preserved by the Open Space
Institute on the banks of the mighty Hudson
River. Those preferring to stay inside can relax
in a lounge looking out, or browse selected
