DURANGO DHARMA CENTER

The Durango Dharma Center (DDC) was formed in 1991 by a few individuals desiring support in their sitting practice. It has grown over the years and is now a Colorado non-profit and a federal 501(c)3 non-profit organization.  The DDC is Vipassana (Insight) oriented but welcomes a variety of meditators. Currently the DDC business is managed by the Board of Directors. Teaching guidance and programming is provided by the Dharma Leader Council.

What is now the Durango Dharma Center began over 15 years ago through the inspiration of a few dedicated practitioners who came together as a small group in living rooms.  Early on, a Board of Directors was formed who established the "Durango Sangha" as a 501(c)3. The Board, with constantly evolving membership is going strong to this day.  In 1999, the Durango Sangha had outgrown living rooms and began to meet in a rented space at the Rocky Mountain Retreat Center on Third Avenue in Durango.  In around 2005, the DDC came into being with a dedicated space in it's current location on Colorado Avenue.

 
The DDC in it's new incarnation was made possible solely by the generosity of it's members, both in terms of dollars as well as sweat equity.
