Sky Heart

Sky Heart Retreat Center, located on private property in the country outside of Dodgeville, WI, offers regular programs in a variety of Buddhist traditions.  Though most programs are in the Drikung Kagyu tradition, Zen and Vipassana retreats have been held in the past.  The brain child of Linda and Pat, two of the property's owners and residents, Sky Heart Retreat Center welcomes practitioners of all traditions...or none.

The "Lhakang," or shrine room, is a large open room.  The Japanese feel of the space is no accident--it doubles as a dojo for Pat's classes in classical Japanese martial arts.  The altar is set up appropriately for visits from Dharma teachers of various traditions and can be folded up against the wall when not in use. 

When overnight programs are held, guests stay in sleeping bags in the shrine room.  But be careful not to point your feet toward the shrine!
