At Drala, we are devoted to creating inclusive, transformative programs that encourage personal growth, nurture inner peace, and deepen meaningful practice. In support of this mission, we offer tuition-free Foundations Programs including Meditation for Beginners, Buddhism for Beginners, Back to the Cushion, and Retreat & Renewal.
Settle into relaxation and wakefulness in a pristine mountain setting. This retreat invites you into contemplative practices designed to open insight and spark inspiration for navigating the many layers of modern life — from career and family to health, relationships, and personal goals. With plenty of space to move at your own rhythm, you can explore the mountain sanctuary as you wish: wander through scenic landscapes, absorb the meditative atmosphere of the Great Stupa, or simply follow the quiet pull of the moment. Nourishing meals and the company of fellow participants add to the sense of ease and connection.
Scheduled activities include guided meditation, energizing and restorative yoga sessions, and visits to the Great Stupa. Whether you are looking for serenity, self-discovery, or shared experience, this retreat offers a welcoming space to unwind, reconnect, and renew. It is an ideal choice for friends, couples, or individuals seeking a restorative escape that supports both relaxation and awakening.
