We are a new Dharma refuge in southwestern Wisconsin. Our roots are in the Theravada tradition of Buddhism and our model is Suan Mokkh, the monastery founded by Buddhadasa Bhikkhu in southern Thailand. We are dedicated to fostering a community of liberatory practice; providing a natural setting for personal meditation retreats; and living out a Buddhist ethics of ecological and social responsibility.
We moved to a 70 acre valley in Wisconsin's beautiful driftless region in 2006. Slowly, through volunteer labor and donations, we are building facilities for community and practice. This website contains Dhamma teachings (text & audio), study materials, calendars of teachings & events, local partners, pictures, building plans, and funding needs. Please explore the menu bar and recent Newsletter.
The horses have gotten through the worst of Winter and we'll be finishing up the barn soon. As Spring weather allows, we'll start our garden and get back to finishing the cabin, along with on-going restoration work. The tent cabins await meditators. Santikaro is travelling a lot until it's time for spring planting.
