The 3 Doors Seventh North American Academy Begins Spring 2024
And Other Upcoming Programs
The 3 Doors is pleased to announce its seventh North American Academy will begin in April 2024. The application period will open September 1, 2023 and close January 1, 2024. The Academy is the signature program of The 3 Doors, founded by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, Tibetan meditation master and spiritual director of Ligmincha International.
The immersive Academy training, which takes place over two-and-a-half years, offers a special opportunity to deepen your relationship to your practice with others committed to the process of personal transformation. Being together in community and sharing the experiences of practice provides a powerful container for reflection, healing and growth.
In addition to learning and engaging in meditation practices of body, speech and mind, personal mentoring and ongoing support are provided. This helps participants integrate the practices into their daily lives, leading to transformation personally, in relation to others and in society. The six in-person retreats for the Academy will be held at Serenity Ridge Retreat Center in Shipman, Va.

Third European 3 Doors Academy Begins March 2024
This European Academy was originally scheduled to begin in October 2023 and has been postponed until March 2024. The Academy is a two-and-a-half-year year immersive meditation training that provides participants with the opportunity to engage deeply in the process of self-discovery in the warmth of community. It is rigorous in the sense that all are asked to make an active and ongoing commitment to self-reflection and meditation. It is challenging at times and it is frequently joyful, since the freedom of going beyond perceived limitations and experiencing the abundant resources of one's true nature is transformative. The location of the third European 3 Doors Academy is still to be determined.
