The retreat center, "The Meditation Garden", located in Brittany

The Meditation Garden is an area conceived by His Holiness Gyalwang Drukpa for individual retreats. It comprises a temple, the Lama Lakhang, containing 300 statues of Masters, and eight cottages for anyone who wishes to stay in solitary retreat for a few days, weeks or months.

In 1994, His Holiness Gyalwang Drukpa had the dream of a meditation garden comprising 8 small cottages and a temple, for which he drew a plan. He entrusted Drubpön Ngawang with the care to achieve this dream.

These houses are currently all occupied by residents. They are temporarily unavailable for individual retreats.

Individual retreat

During the teachings led by Drubpön Pagsam Yongdu, the houses are shared on a basis of 3 to 6 persons. For more information, please contact the center.
