The Hay River Karma Kagyu Study Group was organized in 1997 as an affiliate center of KTD. Our purpose is to make available to all who are interested the teachings and practices of the Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. We are, in particular, a retreat center for the Nyungne practice of Thousand-Armed Chenrezig. Our main teachers are <a href="http://www.kagyu.org/kagyulineage/karmapa/kar00.php">His Holiness the Seventeenth Karmapa</a> and Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche. We are located in rural west central Wisconsin just outside of Ridgeland.
