Dechen Gatsal

After several years of preparing the infrastructure of Dechen Gatsal, which included building a new road and back gate, a concrete bridge, a septic field, laying electrical lines and digging a well, the first three retreat cabins are currently under construction. Foundations have been completed for these three and framing is set to begin on the first cabin as soon as snow and sleet have been cleared. It is our great hope that Dechen Gatsal will be a place where sangha members will deepen their practice through long term retreat.

Start Date: Fall 2007
