Center for Mindful Learning (Monastic Academy)

I have had several life-changing experiences here. The residents are kind, generous individuals, and my time here, both in retreat and as a guest, has radically improved my meditation practice in ways that have enriched my day-to-day life.

I am deeply grateful to this organization, and highly recommend any seekers invest in exploring their path here. You are supporting not only yourself, but an inspiring, authentic community that envisions a better, enlightened world.

Retreat experiece here was friendly, challenging, rewarding, insightful. I love the secluded beauty for hiking and meditation walking. The rugged beams and fireplace give the main room an attractive, relaxing atmosphere. The food was delicious, healthy and abundant. Large front porch and lawn for walking. As someone said, I'll be back!

The Center for Mindful Learning's Monastic Academy is a rigorous mindfulness training center committed to building trustworthy leaders and trustworthy culture. As a full-time resident, I am grateful for the ample opportunities for spiritual and personal growth. It is a gift to be here - working together to preserve all life on earth.
