Enjoy a beautiful Indian Summer retreat at Placid Lake Montana with a six-night stay at Karen Cooper and Alan Davis' cabin on the lake. The cabin is nestled among the tamaracks and aspens and has a beautiful view of the lake framed by the spectacular Swan range. Indian summer is the most picturesque time to be at Placid Lake as both the Aspens and Western Larch become golden as they transform into their fall colors.

Listen to the loons wail, the elk bugle, or watch the trumpeter swans, bald eagles, osprey and blue herons that roost nearby. Kayak or paddleboard on the lake or up the inlet, hike or bike on the nearby trails, fish the lake or nearby streams, or golf at the beautiful Double Arrow Golf Course at nearby Seeley Lake. Enjoy the evenings at the fire pit overlooking the lake, have S'mores, and watch the sunset-or simply spend the day enjoying and relaxing on the deck taking in the wonderful sounds, wildlife and amazing view.

Dates are flexible within the September-October 2023 time frame and subject to Cooper/Davis approval.

Your Tibetan Instructor and Guide
Lama David says: "My own experience in the 3-Year Retreat showed me that beauty and profundity of the Tibetan language. I saw how knowledge of Tibetan powerfully enhances study and practice of the Dharma."
?TLI's Mission
The nonprofit Tibetan Language Institute was founded on the belief that Tibetan language study is essential for the preservation of the Tibetan culture, a vibrant world heritage whose message is peace. On a more personal level, learning even a little Tibetan provides a deeply rewarding means for the individual Dharma practitioner to enrich Dharma study and practice. TLI strives to create opportunities wherein both goals can be realized.
