________

A retreat offered in the Thai forest tradition. Participants must submit an application, interview with the teacher, and be approved to attend.
Registration closes August 1st at 11:59pm Pacific Time.

“Dharma” means nature, and this retreat will encourage yogis to explore their own nature (body and mind) while immersed in the natural world. By living simply, observing noble silence, and practicing in a mindful community, participants will learn to relate to themselves and others in a more loving and sacred way. By walking under a clear blue sky, sitting in the shade of a tall tree, and sharing in Dharma discussions with spiritual friends around the campfire, this experience aims to reset and refresh the mind for a more peaceful way of living.

This retreat will be held in accordance with the Eight Precepts (which includes not eating after the midday meal, with the exception of certain “allowables.”). Vegetarian breakfast and lunch will be offered with no dinner provided. PLEASE NOTE: For those who will need to eat after midday, you may bring your own provisions and store them on campus.
