Retreats at
Chenrezig Institute

Throughout the year Chenrezig Institute offers retreats of varying lengths and intensities. In addition to weekend retreats on topics like Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation, there are regular annual retreats of longer periods during which students are encouraged to separate themselves from their ordinary lives and develop realisations along the path.

• Kopan-Down-Under Lamrim Retreat (held in January)

• Inaugural Summer Retreat - Introduction to Vipassana (in February)

• Easter Retreat

• Nyung Nä Retreats (held in lead up to Sakadawa in April/May)

• Mani Retreat (often held in September/October)

• Vajrasattva Retreat (traditionally held between Christmas and New Year)

• Home Mani Retreat, where students are encouraged to recite a special practice of Chenrezig and recite the mantra OM MANI PADME HUM at home and send in their mantra counts.
