Yarne
There will be no public application process for Yarne 2025
The Yarne retreat will blend meditation and study with the juiciness of daily living in community.
Just as the monastic community shares all the necessary elements of living together – we invite our Yarne guests to participate fully. In practical terms, this means that all participants will have plenty of meditation time in the shrine room, but also time to practice the teachings in the kitchen, the housekeeping area, and in caring for the facilities.
Applications are not open for Yarne at this time. A deposit of CDN$ 500.00 will be required to hold your spot. The full balance of the fees will be due on your arrival at Gampo Abbey. Priority is given to monastic applicants.
