Losar Celebration at SCOL
February 18, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

Celebrate Losar 2026, year of the Fire Horse, at SCOL on February 18!
It is traditional on the Tibetan New Year to do a thorough cleaning in preparation for the coming year. SCOL invites you to our Goldendale retreat center for a work party to clean the facility to prepare for the 2026 retreat season.
Work will begin at 10 am February 18th, a celebration lunch will be provided at noon, then another work session will be held from 2 – 4 pm. We will be concentrating on all indoor spaces, including cabins, apartments, shrine rooms, dining areas, and yoga rooms, plus the traditional replacing of prayer flags on the property.
You are welcome to come for the day or spend the night, either Tuesday or Wednesday, free of charge. Other than Wednesday lunch, you are responsible for your own meals. You are welcome to use the cloister dining areas for preparing and storing food. Please bring warm work clothes and, as usual, your own linens. Also, check the weather before you come and be prepared for snow on the roads.
We would love to share Losar with you. It will not be all work; come enjoy a fine vegetarian meal and time with wonderful Sangha friends. Feel free to email or call with any questions.
