Dorje Denma Ling sits high on a hill overlooking the Northumberland Strait, surrounded by forest and a big sky above. There are 4 meditation halls of various sizes, a simple but comfortable lodge for guests who prefer to be indoors; cabins and tents for those who prefer to camp. The main building houses the Dragon shrine room, a commercial kitchen and dining room. Lovely stained glass art and exquisite Tibetan tankas create an atmosphere of sacredness in this otherwise simple retreat centre.

Winter haiku John McQuade
A lovely series of sharing haiku, with interesting insights re contemplative writing from John, through the dark of Winter. The retreat was also very well run and prepared by Dan. Both are a credit to Dorje Denma Ling. It was much appreciated, thank-you.

(Online) Shambhala Training Level IV: Awakened Heart
It was a great opportunity to complete Level IV online. The zoom format worked perfectly and although we were not physically together, it still gave us a sense of being in community. I highly recommend it.

Deep Resonance - Haiku
I very much enjoyed the class with John McQuade. I felt supported in exploring my own attempts at Haiku and appreciated the depth of knowledge expressed in each class. I found the process of writing Haiku to be deeply supportive in being with this uncertain time.
