What to bring
A short packing list for a retreat in Vermont: layers, clothes you can sit in, a flashlight and your medicines. Tent cabins need your own bedding and towels.
What you need depends on where you stay.
| Where you stay | What to bring |
|---|---|
| Rooms and dorms in the main house | Bedding and towels are provided. |
| The shrine room floor | A sleeping bag. |
| Tent cabins and Karmê Chöling tents | Your own bedding and towels. |
| A tent platform | Your own tent, bedding and towels. |
For everyone
- Clothes in layers: Vermont weather changes quickly.
- Comfortable clothes for sitting meditation.
- A flashlight for the paths at night.
- Any medication you take.
- Masks and rapid tests: our wellness policy asks guests staying on the land to test before traveling, and asks anyone with cold or flu symptoms to wear a mask.
