COME TO LERAB LING WITH YOUR GROUP

We're delighted to offer you a unique venue to welcome you and your group, whether for activities related to natural therapies, energy healing, holistic psychology, mindfulness meditation, etc. Any group that shares our values and ethical principles is welcome.

THE PLACE

Lerab Ling is one of Europe's leading centres for the study and practice of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Under the patronage of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Lerab Ling is a vibrant place, home to a community of monastic and lay members. It is also a temple housing unique Tibetan art, including a 7-metre high statue of Buddha.

Lerab Ling is ideally situated between the Parc Naturel Régional du Haut-Languedoc and the Parc des Grands Causses. Since its creation in 1991, all the teams at Lerab Ling have been committed to an environmentally-friendly approach, making Lerab Ling a unique place where nature is preserved over 140 hectares.

UNIQUE SPACES WITH THEIR OWN AMENITIES

Depending on your activity and the number of participants, we can put several rooms at your disposal. Ranging in size from 72 to 610 m², they are all located in the temple and can be equipped with cushions, chairs and an audio-video system.

A break area and toilets are located close to the rooms. Of course, access to the outside areas is also possible, as are beautiful, relaxing walks around the site.

Meals are taken in the dining room, with the community. The cuisine is mainly vegetarian, with a vegan and gluten-free option. Whenever possible, produce is sourced from Lerab Ling's own kitchen garden or from local producers. Most of them are organic and in season.

There are several types of accommodation available at Lerab Ling, all of which are comfortable and nestled in lush greenery. They range from wooden cabins to self-contained studios overlooking the temple. Find out more by clicking on the link to the descriptions.

A TEAM AT YOUR SERVICE

Lerab Ling has set up a dedicated team to welcome you, so you can be accompanied by Yara, Frédéric or Hans-Fredrik. 

Yara Vrolijks or Frédéric Chastelas will welcome you and your group and look after your needs throughout your journey. He or she will be your guide, from the beginning to the end of your event.

Yara, having grown up in a Buddhist family, devoted her time, from an early age, to Buddhist study and practice. She holds a Master's degree in Philosophy from King's College London and spent a number of years on the Milinda programme, supervised by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. Yara is becoming a regular in the team of instructors holding public events in Lerab Ling and is professionally trained as a Tipi emotional regulation therapist.

Frédéric, after completing a degree in philosophy at the University of Montpellier, decided to devote himself to the study and practice of Buddhism, and met a number of Tibetan Buddhist masters in Europe and Asia. In 2006, he undertook a three-year traditional retreat at Lerab Ling, where he later took up residence to teach meditation and Buddhism and create a number of programmes and events, including the development of personal retreats. Frédéric is also trained in therapeutic approaches such as working with psychological wounds and Tipi emotional regulation.

LERAB LING IMMERSION

A unique immersion experience is also available if you wish. Lerab Ling can offer your group a guided tour of the temple and/or a group meditation session led by an experienced teacher. This offer can be adapted to suit your needs.
