Tergar Retreats

Participating in the JOL3 retreat at Karuna was an incredibly grounding and transformative experience. The container created here is thoughtfully designed to support deep inner work, offering a rare balance of structure, spaciousness, and heartfelt presence.

The combination of insightful teachings, skillful and compassionate guides, and the powerful energy of the land created an environment where I felt fully supported—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. I experienced a profound sense of rootedness, as though the land itself was holding me. The food was nourishing to my being and most lovingly prepared with upmost care. Every element—from the teachings to the natural surroundings—felt intentionally aligned to help me go deeper.

The retreat was very special. Karuna has a great feel and energy that is perfect for retreat. The food was delicious and the daily routine timed very well. The JoL 3 teachings can be challenging but our guides, Yeshe and Jess, delivered them with lightness of touch, great humor and great clarity.

This month-long retreat was a wonderful opportunity for me to spend time meditating without having to worry about my surroundings.
Staying in a cabin in a secluded area of the mountains, I found the isolation I needed to let go.
My basic needs and security were met with the help of Anna, so I was able to devote myself to a deeper exploration of my inner qualities.
Following the entire JOL program, 123 in a row, has enabled me to rediscover in depth just how rich and complete this program of self-discovery is.
Rinpoche brilliantly presents all the essential elements for a complete human inner life, step by step. I loved the fact that I was able to take charge of my own path by appropriating the different meditation methods while practicing several hours a day in silence. This reinforces my aspiration to build my daily life with greater meaning and quality.
I felt so much love and compassion receiving all these teachings combined between Rinpoche's videos, perfect in their precision, and the fervent follow-up of our guides Myochin and Jess with Kathryn's help, completely dedicated to helping us every day. The morning yoga, body and mind together, was a must! that I intend to continue in my daily life. Finally, the wisdom of the participants was an opportunity to open myself to more possibilities by observing other points of view.
Endless gratitude for these moments.

This retreat was a live changing, wonderful experience that will always stay in my heart.
The wisdom, warmth and patience of teachers was extraordinary and inspiring. Planning and execution, and the heart and care that was put in it, is beyond any of my previous expectations.

The venue was wonderful. A simple yet comfortable place with astonishing, ever changing, views, great cuisine and devoted staff.

I wholeheartedly recommend it and I hope to be able to come back soon.
