CELEBRATIONS & RETREATS

Spaces held with care.

about

From private leadership circles and wellness immersions to landmark family gatherings, our grounds offer the privacy and rhythm suited for multi-day retreats. Built over five years using traditional stone masonry and local pine joinery, Zhiwaling provides space where groups can gather, work, and spend time together with quiet dignity. Rather than rigid event packages, our lodge team manages each retreat directly. Working with your organizers, we adapt our indoor halls, open lawns, and outdoor firepits around your schedule, preparing seasonal meals in-house so your group can focus entirely on the purpose of your gathering.

A Natural Gathering Rhythm

Multi-day retreats at Zhiwaling move easily between focused work, shared meals, and quiet valley time. Groups can hold sessions inside our dedicated halls, host morning practices or outdoor discussions on the lawns, and gather in the evening around stone firepits with folk music (gney-lu) performed by village artists from across the Paro Valley.
