Parallel retreats

The Parallel Retreats run by Chanteloube, our main centre in France, aim to parallel the study and practice undertaken in the traditional closed three year retreats held at Chanteloube.

At present there are three seperate retreats run in France, Portugal and Spain.

The retreat involves receiving teachings from either Jigme Khyentse Rinpoche or Pema Wangyal Rinpoche over two to three weekends a year. The rest of the time is spent in one's normal working life with the commitment to practise and study the teachings given a number of hours a day.
This method of practice and retreat is proving popular and many are finding it a beneficial, practical and workable way to merge their lives with the dharma.
