Tonglen Retreat

30km from Dullstroom

Tonglen Retreat Centre is situated just outside of Dullstroom. It is a rustic venue with all of the necessary luxuries but none of the frills that distract us. This venue was lovingly hand-built over a period of 20 years by the owner, and this care and attention to detail is evident in the unique accommodation

Our philosophy is to give people the space to heal in which ever manner they seek to utilise. Our remote off the grid location is the perfect space to create & hold the energy of your specific retreat.  Utilising our Dharma Centre situated uniquely on top of a mountain, the privacy and immersion into nature is the true essence of Tonglen.

When clinical psychologist Antony Tarboton bought this beautiful remote piece of land in the middle of nowhere 20 years ago, there was nothing but the rocky remains of a sandstone and granite kraal that had stood there since the 1800s.  Among the towering trees and rolling green and rocky vistas, he envisioned Tonglen to be a place that others could come for healing, a place to be present in the now. 

This Is Tonglen.
