Retreat Booking - English Programs

Last update February 27, 2025:

On Registration-Day (the 8th for the 3-day course, the 11th for Course 1, the 20th for Course 2)
everyone MUST visit the Dipabhavan Foundation Office (near the main road) first
before proceeding to the Dipabhavan Retreat Center on the mountain.

Booking is possible for up to 4 months in advance
until 3 days before the course starts
(e.g., Mar. 08 last day to register for Course 1,
Mar. 17 last day to register for Course 2 in March).
Please fill out the form only when you intend to join the program.
Booking confirmation will return to you via email.
Important!: Our courses are often fully booked.
If you have registered for a course but are unable to attend,
please cancel your registration at:
dipabhavan.eng@gmail.com
so that somebody else gets a chance to participate.
Simply not showing up without cancellation will deprive others
of the opportunity to take part in the course.
Thank you very much.
