Visitor's Guide
What can you learn from a day visit to Karmê Chöling?
Start with a stroll through the serene gardens, a hike into the hills, or just lie in total stillness in the wildflower speckled meadow. Really connect with the land.
A day visit lets you explore the space and find your space. If you’re thinking about diving deeper into your meditation practice, or are just curious about Karmê Chöling, a day visit is a gentle way to dip your toes into the KCL waters.
Interested in learning how to meditate?
We offer free Learn to Meditate open houses. Meditation instruction is given for beginners or for those who would like a refresher on the technique. Otherwise, let us know if you’d like to receive instruction in basic Buddhist sitting meditation when you visit. You can tell us when you schedule your visit.
