About the Cabins
Tarpa has three retreat cabins, each with a different and peaceful view of the rolling hills of Vershire, Vermont. Anyone who has sufficient background to immerse themselves in the study of mindfulness in solitude may request to book one of the cabins, which are specially designed classrooms for learning mindful living. We provide onsite instructions and guidance that is tailored to each person’s background and experience by expert teachers. The length of your retreat is up to you, but is usually between 10 and 120 days.
If you lack the basics necessary, you are welcome to take a free introductory courses which are coming soon.
Staying in the cabins is free, but donations are welcome to help pay the costs of utilities, supplies, maintenance, and long term care of the cabins so they can continue to help others live learn to live mindfully. See our mission.
