[In-Person] A Two-Day Retreat

Financial Support

Our mission is to make all of our programs accessible. Every fee-based offering has a limited number of pay-what-you-can spots available to support self-identified people of color, members of marginalized groups (queer people, transgender people, and people with disabilities) and those in financial need (those for whom the cost to attend is not financially possible).

These spots are offered on a first come, first served basis. Please pay at the highest level you can afford. In order for this support to be available, we rely on those who can afford to pay the full price to do so.

Find out if spots are available by clicking REGISTER NOW on the event you are interested in.

Refund and Event Policies

In this retreat, we will focus on methods that tame the mind so it can recognize its innate clarity. We will learn and develop our ability to “move towards” stillness and spaciousness by gently inviting the mind to rest.

The retreat will incorporate both sitting/stationary and walking/movement practices.

In keeping with the principles of the dharma that underlies all of our activities, primarily non-harming, we are requiring that all attendees be fully vaccinated in order to attend any in-person event. Please read the Benedict Canyon location page for notes on parking (there is limited parking and carpooling is strongly encouraged – click Signup to the left).
Max Capacity: 25
Masks: Optional (all attendees are fully vaccinated). We will mostly be outdoors.
