TCVC is a community of people interested in developing and deepening their meditation practice. We provide opportunities to hear and practice the teachings of vipassana (insight) and metta (lovingkindness) meditation, with an emphasis on residential retreats led by senior teachers in the Theravada Buddhist tradition.
TCVC retreats are appropriate for both beginning and experienced meditators. We are committed to cultivating a retreat environment that is welcoming to people of diverse identities, including those of all races, ethnicities, cultures, sexual orientations, gender identities, religions, abilities and ages. It is our aim that all may feel safe and respected on their TCVC retreat.
What’s New
New dates for summer retreat with Kamala Masters and Tara Mulay: Sunday, June 9 through Friday, June 14.
Registration opens April 1.
Sadly, this will be our last onsite retreat with Kamala Masters. Kamala and Steve Armstrong have been teaching the TCVC summer retreat since 1994. TCVC is grateful for their unwavering commitment to our community and all the love and support we have received. Under their guidance, many of us have deepened our understanding of the Dhamma in profound ways.
