Private Event/Retreat Hosting

Amata Center is a brand new facility completed in 2022, consisting of:

• Main hall with lower-floor classroom

• Exposition hall

• Dormitory hall

While we run our own semi-yearly meditation retreats and weekly meditation sessions, we are open to accepting reservations of our facilities for private retreats and events for your group or organization.

For private meditation retreats, you may also request teaching support from our qualified resident Buddhist monastics (availability not guaranteed).
