A Center for Spiritual Wellbeing, Rooted in Buddhist Teachings and Practices

Nestled deep in the Catskill Mountains, the Dharmakaya Center for Wellbeing is a world apart. We were founded on the fundamental premise that physical and emotional wellbeing are equally essential, and that each serves the other. Our programs address both, with a core curriculum designed for spiritual growth, and a range of teachings and retreats designed to expand participants’ wellbeing. These fall under the broad categories: Buddhist Studies, Meditation & Spirituality, Yoga & Movement, Health & Nutrition, and Art & Culture. Visit our Program Calendar to read descriptions of our currently scheduled retreats and other programs, and to register to attend them.
