Venerable Acariya Thoon Khippapanyo established the first KPY USA retreat 1999. Since then, his dedicated

followers have continued to produce the annual event at the KPY USA Retreat Center in Redwood Valley, California.

However, as the 2017 Northern California wildfires severely damaged the sprawling property, this year’s retreat will

be held at the temple in San Francisco. KPY USA retreats are a unique opportunity for people

to learn how to alleviate their suffering and evolve into their best selves.

During the week-long event, instructors

equip participants with the tools they need to resolve their own sufferings and develop Right View. The Buddha’s

teachings are activated through enlightening activities, metaphors, internalized parallels, and a number of other

wisdom-building techniques. At the close of the illuminating course, participants walk away with a more balanced

understanding of the world and its laws of cause and effect.
