embracing change in your life

Finding Local Housing:

Please make your own housing reservations for this retreat. Here is a link to local information about places to stay:
http://www.tsoknyirinpoche.org/retreats/housing-for-retreats-in-crestone/

The townhouses near the Desert Sage (now called Crestone Baca Grande Accommodations) are still available for retreat rental. Contact Charmaine directly at
crestonebaca@gmail.com (719-256-4243) for more information. It is a good idea to start this process right away, given Crestone's popularity for summer retreats.

Finding Your Way to Crestone:

Check In:

Check-in for Crestone retreats is from 2:15 to 4pm on 8/2/13 and again on 8/9 (if you are attending the second retreat also) at the Desert Sage Restaurant. (Please do not go to the Shrine tent prior to orientation because the service and set-up staff will still be working in preparation for Rinpoche's arrival.)

Meal Plan:

For those of you who signed up for the optional meal plan at the Desert Sage, dinner will be at 5pm on 8/2 and 5pm on 8/9 (if attending the second retreat), with breakfast the next morning at 7:30 am. The retreat will end after breakfast on departure days 8/8 and 8/15. If you have not registered for the meal plan and wish to add it, please email the Registrar (registrar@pundarika.org). More details will be provided regarding the retreat schedule when we are closer to the retreat dates.

Teaching Location:

The teachings will take place at the Shrine tent on the Yeshe Rangsal retreat land. Visit the local Crestone retreat map link above to locate the Stupa parking lot where you are asked to park and walk up the trail to the teaching tent for orientation and Rinpoche's first teachings on 8/2 and 8/9. There is no parking at the Shrine tent (on the upper part of the retreat land) or on the side streets adjoining the retreat land by strictly enforced local ordinance.
