The Mandala Center...a Retreat Center in Northeastern New Mexico

2013 Workshops

Individual Retreat Weekends - 2013

The Mandala Center is no longer able to remain open for only one individual guest requesting an individual retreat. In an attempt to continue to provide space for individuals to come for retreat we have created our Individual Retreat Weekends. We have even created them at reduced rates! Our Individual Retreat Weekends offer rest and renewal without a scheduled program. These weekends have proven to be in demand and enjoyed by all who attend – individuals and couples.

Prices include your lodging and our wonderful meals and snacks daily. Some optional programs may be offered, depending on staff availability. Otherwise there is no agenda or schedule and you may do as your heart desires while being supported and nourished by The Mandala Center and the great natural world that surrounds it!

Our Individual Retreat Weekends begin on Thursdays 3 p.m. with dinner at 6 p.m. and end with a brunch on Sunday at 10 a.m. (you may remain on the grounds up to 3 p.m.)

If you wish to extend your stay please inquire about availability. Regular rates would apply but you can get a 15% discount on extended nights if rooms are available. Meals are not provided during extended stays.

Don’t delay in registering. These weekends can fill up and we have limited space (12 rooms). We also need to meet our minimum for these weekends to succeed – so don’t wait till the last minute because your registration could make the difference in cancelling or not!

Room rates are already discounted but BRING SOMEONE WITH YOU – Share and Save! It is more fun that way and you can save even more on room rates! With our limited room availability it also helps us to allow more people to attend! If you would like a roommate but do not have one inquire to be put on our waiting list. You must register, however, for a private room and we will reimburse you for the difference if we can find a roommate for you.

Winter Contemplation
Thursday February 7th – Sunday February 10th, 2013

There is a beauty and grace to our volcanic land during the winter season and a snowfall can be a heavenly sight here on the Sierra Grande. Come rest and contemplate whatever calls to your heart and soul in the winter’s silence. Enjoy a hot cup of tea, a book, a nap, and cuddle in to a true retreat. Our delicious meals will keep you full and happy too!

Summer Siesta
Thursday July 25th - Sunday July 28th , 2013

The busy schedules and the heat of summer bring a need for slowing down and recharging our minds and bodies. The heat of our afternoons make it a perfect time for resting in the shade, napping, and celebrating siesta in your own personal way. Then evenings cool down to comfortable temperatures as the splendor of our night sky opens up to endless stretches of stars and planetary sights. Enjoy fresh and healthy meals and no agenda but your own!

Check in Information

Check-in begins at 3 p.m. on the first day of your workshop. If you wish to arrive earlier please contact us to inquire about this arrangement. Our staff will assist you with registration and see you to your rooms where you can rest or refresh from travel. Dinner is generally at 6 p.m. followed by a brief orientation with staff and then an evening introduction session with your workshop instructor. Workshop leaders will establish the daily routines/sessions with you. Workshops generally end at lunch time on the final day (usually Sunday). Guests have until 3 p.m. to depart from the grounds. There may be times guests will need to clear their rooms by noon if we have another group coming in but your group will be notified upon arrival of this necessity. You would still be able to take advantage of the general grounds until 3 p.m. if needed.

Cancellation Policies

Our fees and cancellation policies are subject to change at any time without notice.

Although it is our desire that all programs are successful, circumstances do arise that lead to a need for cancellation. The Mandala Center reserves the right to cancel a program at any time. If The Mandala Center cancels a program you will receive a full refund on the program and accommodation fees. We are not responsible for travel expenses incurred due to cancellations.

We cannot offer refunds beyond the policies listed. We are not able to give refunds to anyone missing events due to bad weather conditions or for anyone who simply does not show up for a program they have registered for. We cannot give refunds for anyone who must leave a program early or does not participate in portions of a program for any reason.

We keep our fees as low as possible (and our non-profit subsidizes portions of all programs) to make it as affordable as possible for guests. Due to this practice we are unable to reduce rates further or refund beyond our stated policies.
