Diamond Mountain Retreat Center

Here at Diamond Mountain Retreat Center, we strive to provide space for retreat goers to experience selfless service. But you may be wondering, what is selfless service? Or, how do I accomplish selfless service?
For starters, we aim to make space for the ego to take a backseat role and allow for group responsibilities amongst all visitors. Having an emphasis on the group rather than the individual allows room for individuals to grow and lead some area of responsibility for the benefit of othe...

We’re told constantly that we live in a fast-paced world that thrives on progress and stress. So much so, we often forget how to relax or don’t even know where to begin.
The truth is, relaxation looks different for everybody. Some people find peace by taking a few deep, focused breaths. For others, focusing on the breath might actually make them anxious. There’s no recipe for relaxation, only sensations that you personally respond positively to.
A good place to start would be asking yourself ...

Volunteering is something we know we should do more of, but struggle to make time for. Sometimes people feel overwhelmed with the sheer amount of nonprofits they could support, and don’t know where to start or what type of volunteerism they are looking to perform.

But did you know that you can volunteer your time at wellness centers, too?...

Vaccines are readily available, people are returning back to work, and some states have lifted their mask mandates and states-of-emergency. This is all great news, right? In theory, yes- however, after living in confusion and panic for an entire year, it can be difficult to go back to acting how we did before the pandemic began.

As children, you’re taught to be polite and considerate of others—this might look like entertaining others at parties, putting others before yourself, and perhaps staying silent about your needs in fear that it might be an inconvenience to the people around you.
Internalizing these “people-pleasing” behaviors can be detrimental to your ability to care for your personal needs. After all, how can you show up for others if you aren’t showing up for yourself?
By allowing yourself to take up (much...

The first steps towards living more mindfully are often the hardest. You may be at a point where you understand how mindfulness can benefit and calm a wandering mind, but perhaps you’re having a hard time incorporating your practice into daily life. This is completely understandable, given that our modern, time-poor society doesn’t often lend itself kindly to living in the present moment.
The best way to stick to the practice is to first bring your awareness and focus back to the breath. Remi...

The Marble Stupa Project is a pilgrimage project led by Diamond Mountain Retreat Center. The goal of the Project is to bring healing and peace to participants with themselves and in their relationships with people and the world around them. This healing process is brought on through application of ancient wisdom.
But what is a stupa and how do these fit into Diamond Mountain’s culture?
In short, a stupa is a dome-shaped structure. This ancient architecture is intended as a sepulchral monument...

Diamond Mountain is home to many beautiful off-grid, self-sustaining cottages. This week, we highlight the beautiful house 10 karuna:
Karuna is located in a rocky ridge on the DMRC grounds. The house is actually made up of two small buildings, but the unity they share is one of harmony and beauty. Visitors enjoy drinking in the expansive views of the mountain ranges which surround the karuna house.

At Diamond Mountain Retreat Center, our cottages are self-sustaining thanks to an off-grid system. This allows for a complete disconnect from the outside world so that our visitors may truly embrace the natural surroundings. But what does it mean to be ‘off-grid?’
All of the cottages located at Diamond Mountain Retreat Center are off-grid. In short, for a property to be off-grid, it is not connected to the electricity, water, gas or sewage systems provided by the local area. Instead, all of t...
