Accommodation at Karmê Chöling Karmê Chöling's visitors and program participants have many accommodation options. We offer private single and double rooms, shared dormitory housing, meditation hall accommodations, seasonal tents, and a guesthouse in nearby Barnet, Vermont. There are also various lodging options in the surrounding community, many of which are owned by members of the Shambhala sangha.
Private rooms and dormitories include bedding, towels, and storage space for guest belongings. For meditation hall and tent accommodations, guests should bring their own bedding and towels, and may store their belongings in cubicles located in the lower dormitory, or in our outdoor changing tent in the summer. All visitors have access to shared bathrooms and the laundry room, which includes washers and dryers, an iron and ironing board, drying racks, and detergent.
