DESIGN YOUR RETREAT

We offer the flexibility to design your own personal retreat—whether a time of simple quiet contemplation, a few extra days of deeper retreat at the beginning or end of a program, or intensive work on a specific Buddhist practice. You have the option to meet with one of our senior teachers discuss your personal retreat goals and design your practice schedule—or to choose your own path. You'll start each day with the Center's morning salutations and meditation, then let the days unfold, leaving everyday pressures behind as you find the time and space to study and practice in retreat—a precious opportunity.

You are encouraged to join the Center’s Tuesday Meditation program. However, you must purchase a ticket to attend any ticketed teachings, programs or other events.

Each bedroom has a zafu, zabaton, and table for practice. Please note that if your retreat overlaps with a scheduled program, your access to the Meditation Hall may be limited; check our calendar for potential conflicts.

EAT WELL

While this is a time to nourish yourself, it is also a time to nourish your body. You will enjoy delicious vegetarian food, eating each meal with our resident lamas, volunteers and staff.
