One of the main priorities of the Sangha is that of organizing retreats. It is our belief that regular attendance at retreats is an essentially component of Dharma practice. The Sangha currently organizes 2-3 major residential retreats each year in addition to several shorter day-long retreats. You can download retreat flyers and registration forms in Adobe PDF format for those retreats where the flyers have been created. And of ourse, if you prefer, contact one of the managers and have them send you a flyer.

The residental retreats scheduled in 2008 and 2009 will be held at Kelly Place Located in the beautiful Red Rock country of McElmo Canyon, Kelly Place is about 1 1/2 hour drive from Durango.

(NOTE: PDF stands for Portable Document Format and requires that you have the Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer. Most newer computers already have Acrobat intalled. If not you can download here and install it.)
