Silent Meditation Intensive: The Cradle of Loving-Kindness

The Cradle of Loving-Kindness is a weekend silent meditation retreat led by teacher Loden Nyima at Drala Mountain Center, a contemplative retreat center set on thousands of acres in the mountains near Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. Open to the public and welcoming to both experienced practitioners and those newer to practice, the retreat offers a supported container of silence, guided meditation and loving-kindness practice designed to soften the heart and steady the mind. Participants spend the weekend in the center's quiet natural surroundings, moving between sitting sessions, teachings and rest, with instruction offered gently and without judgment for those still learning to settle into stillness. It is an opportunity to step away from daily busyness, reconnect with a sense of inner warmth and compassion, and return home with renewed calm. Overnight accommodations and meals at the center support a full immersive experience; see the center's site for pricing, lodging options and registration.
