Meditation has become an increasingly popular and effective way to promote mental and physical health, bringing profound benefits to the mind, body, and spirit. At the Palyul Retreat Center, established by His Holiness Penor Rinpoche, attendees will not only learn how to meditate, but they will also receive deeper teachings on how to generate compassion and cultivate inner peace. Many of the students at KPC along with hundreds of other students around the country within the Palyul tradition, come to immerse themselves deeply in meditation, receive teachings, and deepen their practice every year.

The center holds formally organized retreats every summer, beginning with the July 4th weekend Nyungné (fasting and purification) retreat and followed by the annual summer retreat, which lasts from July 10 to August 10. The program features the traditional step-by-step approach, from the foundation practices of Ngondrö to the deep meditation practices Dzogchen Trekchö, providing attendees with an immersive and comprehensive experience.
