Nestled in a forest of tall cedars and white pines on the northern crest of the Shawangunk Mountains, Sky Lake is a Shambhala contemplative center for meditation, arts and community. It is part of an international community of meditation centers founded by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Just two hours north of Manhattan in the Mid-Hudson River Valley, the Lodge has a contemplative, peaceful ambience and is a genuine haven from the rigors of urban life.

Mission/Lineage: Shambhala Vision is rooted in the principle that every human being has a fundamental nature of basic goodness. This nature can be developed in daily life so that it radiates out to family, friends, community and society. Chögyam Trungpa felt that if humanity were to succeed in creating a better world it would be based on global respect for fundamental human dignity. This is the core message of Shambhala.

I recently used Skylake Lodge bed and breakfast for my Yoga Retreat (April, 2013), and it was WONDERFUL!! The location is a lovely, easy ride from New York City. It is secluded, quiet, and very peaceful. The staff is amazing and very attentive, kind, and supportive to your needs. Each room is different and unique, with its own private bathroom and balcony! The Koi fish in the pond and the 18 acres of trails on the property are wonderful for peaceful strolls. I recommend it!
