Welcome to Chamma Ling Colorado

Nestled in the serene Sangre De Cristo mountains near Crestone, Chamma Ling Colorado offers you a transformative retreat experience where you can deepen your meditation practice in a setting reminiscent of Tibet.

Whether seeking a week of solitude or several months of contemplation, you may immerse yourself in silent or dark retreats, surrounded by pristine natural beauty that supports inner exploration and spiritual growth.

A Vision of Wisdom in Modern Times

This sacred space, established by the renowned teacher Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, features thoughtfully designed retreat cabins and a welcoming Community House built through the generosity of students and private donors. The center’s primary focus is providing solitary retreatants with an environment that cultivates profound stillness, silence, and spaciousness, while also hosting small group retreats and local practice sessions throughout the year for those seeking collective spiritual practice.

Our Retreat Cabins

The cabins are nestled in a tranquil setting amongst pinon pine trees with stunning views of the San Luis Valley. Each cabin is heated and air conditioned, has a main room with hardwood floors, bed and altar, a small fully equipped kitchen, private bathroom with hot showers and porches with sweeping views.

For Solitary Retreats

Everything you need to be independent on a solitary retreat and a porch for practicing outside.

For Dark Retreats

A small, enclosed pass through between the kitchen and living area so dark retreatants having meals delivered can receive them without allowing light in. The cabins can be fully darkened including the kitchen if you want to be independent in a dark retreat.

For a Contemplative Sanctuary

Each cabin features a shrine area designed for prostrations, yoga, and meditation. Linens and towels are provided.
