Live in a Meditation Community.

Karmê Chöling is a community of practitioners in rural Vermont who share a common conviction in the basic goodness of all beings. Residents quarantine a short time before entering the Main House, where we live mask-free as a household. We feed ourselves much of the year from a one-acre organic garden, have twice-daily meditation sessions and frequent opportunities to study the dharma — in groups and independently.
