Naropa Maitri V

Naropa Maitri V is a week-long retreat at Drala Mountain Center in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. It is organized and hosted by the Naropa Maitri organization, and it suits people who want a full week of practice and study in a mountain setting.

What to Expect

The retreat runs for a full week, with the Naropa Maitri organization hosting the program from beginning to end. The days are given over to practice and study, held in the quiet of the Colorado mountains. The material does not give a daily timetable or name the teachers, so the particulars of each day are best taken from the organizers as the retreat approaches.

The Setting

Drala Mountain Center sits in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado, and provides the lodging and facilities for the program. Participants can stay on site in the center's accommodations, which keeps the week simple: you sleep, practice and study in one place, without the daily travel that can break the rhythm of a retreat. The mountain landscape is part of the character of the gathering, offering space and stillness suited to contemplative work.

Before You Go

This is a hosted program, so the Naropa Maitri organization is the one to ask about prerequisites, what to bring and the specifics of the schedule. Because lodging is on site at the center, you can plan to stay for the whole week rather than commute.
