Retreat Sites

PYTS Retreat Centers
Students, we are listening!

We cater to you, the student, and your specific learning style. Becuase of this, we tailor each class and our pedagogy to the student demographic.

We choose retreat centers which have an environmental dharma and a passion for all education and lifelong learning. We also only choose retreat centers which practice moderation and simplicity and allow our students to truly hear themselves instead of outside, worldy, materialistic noise.

For this reason, space is limited in all of our classes, but especially the retreat centers. You must sign up early, recommended is at least 6 months in advance, to secure your space. This does not mean space will not be available at less than six months out, it just means in cannot be guaranteed. The take home message here is - sign up early!
