IMPORTANT US FESTIVAL REGISTRATION INFO!
Registration for the In-Person Festival opens Thursday, January 22 at 2pm EST/11am PST.

Registration for the live-stream Festival will open closer to the event — keep your eyes open for announcements!

✨ Early Bird Discount
Book by March 24 at 11:59pm EDT to receive the discount.

A New Registration System:
If you’ve booked a Kadampa Festival before, this system will look quite different — but don’t worry, it’s designed to be clear, smooth, and easy to navigate.

A few helpful things to know:
• The first page you’ll see is the Accommodations Options page. The price shown includes all teachings, accommodations, and all meals for the full event, so you can immediately see the total cost of attending.

Not staying for the whole festival? No problem— you’ll be able to adjust your options later.

• Because onsite accommodations are so limited, most are only available for the full five nights. If you’re coming for just a few days, you won’t be able to book these, but you can choose camping, which has no minimum stay.

• Staying offsite? Simply select Day Visitor at the bottom of the screen.

• The next screen lets you choose your other Festival options like festival dates, meals, and transportation options. Just follow the instructions as you go— the process should be smooth and straightforward.

If you selected a twin or double room earlier, make sure to have your roommate’s name ready – you’ll need to add it on this screen.

Saturday Class with Rob Lutz
September 20

Atisha was an 11th Century teacher and meditation master who helped revitalize Dharma practice in Tibet. In his final teaching to the Tibetan community he gave practical guidance in growing our compassion and controlling our mind.

In this two session course we will learn about Atisha’s advice and the meaning of this timeless Dharma teaching.

No Buddhist background or meditation experience required.

Everyone is welcome! 🤗

Drop-in for our special 3-week Monday evening series in September!

Everyone wants to be happy and no one wants to suffer, but very few people understand the real causes of happiness and suffering. All our life we have tried to adjust the external world, trying to make it conform to our wishes, yet still we have not found pure and lasting happiness.

In this 3-week series, we’ll learn about different mindsets that prevent us from finding inner peace, and practice meditations that can help us to access a peaceful mind even in trying circumstances. Everyone is welcome!

Come join us in Portland for Medicine Buddha Empowerment with Kadam Heather! 🤗🩵💙

When our body is sick, we seek medical help from doctors- but where do we turn when our mind is sick with delusions such as anger and attachment, the root causes of all our suffering?
You’re invited to Portland’s annual blessing ritual empowerment where we seek assistance from Medicine Buddha! ☸️🎉
