CBCT® Retreat

CBCT Retreat – Two Opportunities in 2026!

Due to increased demand, we are happy to announce that we are adding a second retreat to this year’s calendar. In addition to the annual May retreat, there will be one in August.

Join us, in person or online, for this four-day intensive co-facilitated by Lobsang Tenzin Negi, PhD, Compassion Center Executive Director and developer of CBCT, and Timothy Harrison, Director of CBCT. You will engage in guided meditation, meaningful activities and discussion, and personal reflection. Whether you’re deepening your CBCT practice or reconnecting with the CBCT community, this retreat offers a space for growth and insight. See below for registration dates. Note that registration for the August retreat will open in June.

Attendance at the CBCT Retreat requires the completion of a CBCT course in the past.
