Namchak Community Namchak seeks to bring greater happiness and meaning to life through meditation, study and retreat.

Namchak is dedicated to sharing one of the oldest forms of Tibetan Buddhism and making the teachings newly accessible to Westerners. Students learn from living Tibetan masters as well as Western teachers, and receive support from a vibrant community. We serve students on every step of the path, from those exploring mindfulness for the first time to more experienced students. We offer a variety of learning programs, including in-person teaching, small group learning, online courses and soon-to-be established residential retreats at the Namchak Retreat Ranch in western Montana.

A little reflection on a beautiful week of practice, presence, and restoration at our recent Embodied Presence retreat. 🌿 Grateful for the time spent slowing down, reconnecting, and learning together, and for our wonderful teachers, Eliza Bishop and Justin Kirkwood, who guided the week with such care.

Cultivate Stillness & Greater Ease With Our Winter Refuge Retreat. ❄️

The winter months are the perfect time to turn inward and retreat into our inner sanctuaries. To support a ‘winter refuge’ for students in our Namchak programs, we are offering 5 days of dedicated practice time and space at the Namchak Retreat Ranch for students to gather and deepen their current practices. This retreat is self-guided and held in Noble Silence.
