Refund and Event Policies

Start the holiday season by practicing in community and stillness for our annual Thanksgiving Beach Sit.

Bring a beach chair or your meditation cushion and a towel to sit on. The sit will be without guidance. You can join anytime, if you are late or just want to sit for 30min just join quietly.

We are looking forward to seeing you!

Directions: Take Ocean Park Blvd. all the way West to where it stops, and turn left on Barnard Way. Take your first right at the stop sign into Parking Lot 5 South and turn RIGHT into short term parking before the main lot ticket booth. There is an extra (unmanned) ticket booth on the short term lot.

The sitting group will be just north of lifeguard station # 26 or to the right if facing the ocean. Walk straight down the wooden board walk and then to your left. You may not be able to see us sitting on the beach from the parking lot, so please walk to the lifeguard station to find the group.

Metered parking is free on Thanksgiving!

Schedule: 7am – 8am PT.
