In the summer of 2005 Gar Drolma Choling moved to its permanent home in Dayton, Ohio. The site is a 100-year-old church located in the Belmont district of the city. It is a beautiful facility, with stained-glass windows and high ceilings. With seating capacity of over 100, we are able to host large teaching events and retreats. The building is located on a quiet cobblestone street. our neighbors have been warm and welcoming throughout the last year.
