Vajra Armor Retreats

The Vajra Armor Teachings are 'closed retreats', which means they are conducted within boundaries. Once the retreat begins, participants are not allowed to leave the building or area within the boudary, not allowed to have email or phone communications, and must abide by the rules of boundaried retreats. The Vajra Armor Retreat Course is held at our residential retreat center at the Highlands Inn. Organic meals will be provided each day as well as comfortable lodging.
