🐲 Residential Training

Brightminders often ask me for suggestions for residential training opportunities. I was going to create my own breakdown of the various options, until I found out that my friend Aaron Stryker had already done just that! I trained with Aaron years ago at a monastery and he now runs Dharma Gates, a non-profit that makes meditation retreats and residential training accessible, especially to young adults.

Aaron offers two key resources on the Dharma Gates website:

1. Descriptions of several residential training centers, from a variety of traditions.

2. One-on-one advising for folks who are interested in dedicating their lives to practice (it’s a big decision, so it can be really helpful to talk with someone who knows the lay of the land!)

Enjoy!
