Meditation Retreats List

[Cocolove]

Let's start a list of places and organizations and ways to do meditation retreats, so that the aspiring sage can scroll through his or her options. I'll go

-Dhamma.org has wonderful vipassana meditation retreats all around the world, I intend to go to one this next summer now that I'm 18. That's one downside, they reject you if you're younger (at least in Wisconsin). These are donation based, and so always affordable. This is your standard 10 day vipassana retreat.

-Sat yoga institute. This place, run by Shunyamurti, has retreats and is open to volunteers. I applied to volunteer.

-Camping. Yes. National parks. Siberia. Whatever you like.

-Renting a place. Many options.

This thread is also designed to help answer my dilemma seen here

I haven't been here but I've known people who have gone and had very good retreats. Its located in Burma but retreat is free, they have medical doctors to care for yogis, and you can do long retreats here.

Right now I don't think they are accepting applicants due to coronavirus.

Kadampa Tradition Temples for World Peace: https://kadampa.org/temples-for-world-peace

I was volunteering at Ulverston, UK for 3 weeks and the experience was great. I am not the biggest fan of the tradition as there is some dogma, but it's amazing place and great people to make friends for life.
