KFR Pilgrimage

Go on a Holy Walk

Develop a deeper appreciation for the holy sites at Kechara Forest Retreat as you embark on a guided pilgrimage led by our Buddhist sangha and pastors.

You’ll experience traditional Tibetan methods for healing body, mind and spirit as you visit each holy site, recite blessed mantras, light a candle or two, make aspirational prayers or just absorb the stillness and calm of the forest.
