Courses, Retreats, and Special Events

Most weekends in the year, we hold courses and retreats, usually on Saturday mornings but sometimes extending throughout the entire weekend.

For those interested in extended retreat opportunities as well as retreats outside of New York City, be sure to check out our World Peace Temple in Glen Spey.
