Contact


The monastic community of Temple Forest Monastery will be observing our annual three-month winter retreat from January 5 – March 31, 2024, and normal public activities – as well as email correspondence – have been paused until April.

During this time you may still come for the 11 a.m. meal offering on any day, and afterwards speak with a monk. The weekly Saturday Evening Puja & Dhamma talk will still be open to all. Please check the website’s front page for general updates, and the calendar for possible cancellations due to winter weather.

Queries about staying as an overnight guest

Overnight guests will not be accepted during the Winter Retreat, and the Guest Monk will not be checking messages until after March 15. If you wish to stay at the monastery, please wait until then to send an email, through the form on the Overnight Stays page, asking about this. We will be accepting overnight guests from April 2 onwards.

If you have an urgent need to contact us, a layperson will be checking the following email address once a day and can pass on your message:

WinterRetreat@jetagrove.us

Otherwise, please wait until after March 31 to send us your message. Thank you!

All blessings,
The monastic community
