Solitary Retreat
From the point of view of their duration, there are two types of solitary retreat: short solitary retreats lasting from a few days to 6 months, and long solitary retreats lasting from over six months to five years.
Each solitary retreater engages in a unique programme of spiritual training during their retreat that is determined and agreed after discussion with Gen Tharchin, at the beginning of their retreat and which is supervised by him throughout their retreat.
Although all solitary retreaters observe strict silence during their retreats, Gen Tharchin is always available to offer guidance and support whenever needed, or to answer questions that may arise by either correspondence or interview.
