Build Your Own Retreat

Retreats at Kadampa Meditation Center New York offer an opportunity to disconnect from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with inner peace. Nestled in the tranquil beauty of upstate New York, our retreats are thoughtfully designed for both beginners and experienced meditators. You will enjoy guided meditations, Buddhist teachings, and quiet reflection in a supportive environment. Surrounded by scenic beauty and hiking trails, our Buddhist temple provides the ideal setting for personal growth and inner stillness.

The Catskills getaway weekends are an opportunity to build your own retreat and make what works for you. Come for a Friday evening Food For Thought, our Saturday Day Course, and our Sunday meditation class taught by resident teacher Gen Samten Kelsang, or mix-and-match whatever works for you!

Located in the Catskills just a couple hours from NYC, Kadampa Meditation Center New York is a peaceful refuge offering meditation classes, weekend getaways, and extended silent retreats throughout the year. Local meditators come from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and others travel from all over the world to visit this precious place. You will get what you need-- whether it is overcoming anxiety, relieving stress, or going deeper into the profundity of Buddhist meditation.
