What is a solitary retreat?
A solitary retreat is essentially an opportunity to experience oneself alone and away from contact with other people.
Solitude has traditionally played an important role in the lives of Buddhists who, over the centuries, have used it to go deeper into meditation and reflection. There are no rules however - some people meditate or study, some write, practice yoga, read - it is an undisturbed space you may use to pursue whatever you wish, or to simply do nothing at all.
Our solitary retreat facilities - What we offer
Guhyaloka hosts three beautifully located solitary chalets, each with a subtly different character of its own. These are called Dharsendo, Almendra and Jnanakhadga.
All of the chalets have a water supply, a gas stove for cooking, a bed and bedding, and we supply you with a variety of vegetarian food for you to cook.
Cost and booking
Solitary retreats are available in one week blocks from Monday to Monday at a cost of 160€ per week. If you wish to book please email us at info@guhyaloka.com stating which chalet you would prefer and the dates you would like to come. We will confirm your place and will ask you to send a 25% deposit to secure the booking.
