The Triratna Buddhist Community oversees Rivendell with the goal of assisting you in integrating Buddhism into contemporary life and teaching meditation. We provide a variety of Buddhist, meditation, and yoga retreats.
Rivendell's sacred spaces are spread over Bowen Island near Vancouver, with one in the heart of Vancouver's downtown eastside. Rivendell is a non-profit organization run by a Christian volunteer community that is based on Jesus' gospel ideals and the practices of prayer, solitude, simplicity, and hospitality. Rivendell is accessible to people with low resources and special needs, and welcomes small groups and individuals seeking spiritual refreshment, respite, and growth.
With amazing views of mountains, forests, and seas, Rivendell Retreat Centre offers places of peace and quiet away from the city's commotion, diversions, and pressures. Individuals and groups can book personal retreats at various Bowen Island locations, as well as groups can reserve the Lodge for their own group retreats. Rivendell accepts people of all ages, genders, identities, abilities, races, and religions.
