That's because there isn't any. Nonetheless, a three-year retreat is in progress there right now.

Frankly speaking......
I'd say that rather than looking for a "three year retreat," it would be a good idea to build a relationship with the teacher first....I suppose someone could just "drop themselves" into ANY three year retreat, but I would think a good relationship with the Vajra Master would be the most important thing.

Perhaps that's just me.
དམ་པའི་དོན་ནི་ཤེས་རབ་ཆེ་བ་དང་།
རྟོག་གེའི་ཡུལ་མིན་བླ་མའི་བྱིན་རླབས་དང་།
སྐལ་ལྡན་ལས་འཕྲོ་ཅན་གྱིས་རྟོགས་པ་སྟེ།
དེ་ནི་ཤེས་རབ་ལ་ནི་ལོ་རྟོག་སེལ།།


"Absolute Truth is not an object of analytical discourse or great discriminating wisdom,
It is realized through the blessing grace of the Guru and fortunate Karmic potential.
Like this, mistaken ideas of discriminating wisdom are clarified."
- (Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche, from his summary of "The Ocean of Definitive Meaning")
