Furnace Mountain Zen Center...
Please note that because of the pandemic we will continue to offer online retreats in 2021.
We hope to be able to return to some form of in-person retreat by 2022.
We appreciate your understanding and support!

Furnace Mountain is a Buddhist Zen retreat center located on more than 800 acres of rugged woodland (part of the Daniel Boone National Forest) in the Red River Gorge region of eastern Kentucky. During and outside of retreats our residents and guests keep a practice schedule that includes both formal meditation practice and the work of maintaining the buildings, grounds and our large permaculture garden. Our Zen retreats last from one day to three months. Residents and guests occupy rustic log cabins dotted through the forest. We also have a unique, highly secluded Hermitage for solo retreats. |
