The retreat is held at El Tesoro, a beautiful Campfire Camp tucked away in beautiful Acton, TX, located on the Brazos river, southwest of Dallas.

The retreat schedule includes practice, teaching, meditation, yoga, discussion, walks in the woods, and service practice such as cleaning or helping with food preparation. There is time for solitary walks, time to explore the nature trails and many facets of this very large and private site on the Brazos River. Accommodations are rustic but comfortable, and the food is light and tasty. Price is $135 for the weekend, $390 for the week. The $390 includes meals, lodging and teaching - unbeatable price due to a combination of teacher, place and unpaid volunteer effort - it's a labor of love!

The main reason for the low price is that we do the food ourselves - it takes a very large effort to feed three quality meals a day and there is a lot of kitchen and cleaning work. Service work is part of the Retreat and is mandatory.

Ven. Lama Dudjom Dorjee Rinpoche will be teaching from his new book, which has not manifested yet – but is on the way. The name of the book is Heartfelt Advice for the Heartfelt Student. The book addresses issues such as the Hinayana, Mahayana, and the Vajrayana perspectives of doctrine.

If any individual would like to give extra money for scholarship to the retreat, this has worked very skillfully in the past. The Retreat ends with a Blessing by Lama Dorjee, which is also an opportunity to make a personal offering.
