Cloud Mountain Retreat Center is a non-sectarian Buddhist center hosting residential retreats year round. We’re located deep in the forests of southwest Washington, approximately 125 miles south of Seattle, WA, and 60 miles north of Portland, OR.
Cloud Mountain is situated on fifteen beautiful, forested acres which are dotted with ponds and a lovely creek. The retreat center is a veritable wildlife refuge which we share with black-tailed deer, songbirds of all kinds, great blue herons, owls, ducks, raccoons, koi, newts, salamanders and the occasional river otter. The facility is made up of a complex of buildings tucked into the forest and connected by winding, rock-lined gravel paths.
Cloud Mountain’s highest aspiration as a Dharma center is to support awakening, the deepest promise of the teachings of the Buddha. Different terms can be used to express this aspiration, including liberation, realization or enlightenment. All of these words point in the same direction: toward direct experience of unexpected and fundamental shifts in consciousness that profoundly and permanently alter our understanding of our own natures as human beings and the nature of reality and thus transform how we live in the world and interact with others.
