Residential Retreats

Below we list upcoming residential retreats sponsored by the Albuquerque Vipassana Sangha. To see info about shorter retreats on the schedule see Day Retreats and Half Day Retreats. Also see Vipassana Retreats and Residencies in the Region for an informal list of retreats outside of Albuquerque.

First, a note about Dana: The teachings are offered freely; no compensation for our teachers is included in the fee you pay to register for a retreat. This fee covers only the actual cost of the retreat, e.g., your room, meals, teacher transportation, facility charges, retreat supplies, etc. At the end of a retreat, students have the opportunity to return the generosity of the teachers by making voluntary contributions (dana) to them. Since our teachers depend largely on dana to support themselves, these student offerings allow them to continue to teach. Dating back to the time of the Buddha, this interdependence between those who offer the teachings and those who receive them has been a beautiful part of our tradition. (For more about dana, here is an essay from the Cloud Mountain Retreat Center site: The Practice of Dana.)
