The Center hosts structured residential retreats centered on meditation and contemplative practices, as well as wellness weekends tailored to stress reduction and personal development. Signature offerings include teachings grounded in the Tibetan Buddhist lineage of Nyingma/Dzogchen, led by resident and visiting teachers.

Community involvement is at the heart of their mission, with a focus on ethical living, interconnection, and service. Their eco-conscious campus reflects Bhutanese architectural elements and supports sustainability and quietude as foundations for wellbeing.
