RETREAT TO BE HELD ON THE LAND!
Description:
In this retreat, we will study and embody one of the seven Factors of Awakening: Investigation. We will explore Investigation experientially and interactively. As sangha (community) we will learn how to investigate our phenomenological experience in sitting and walking meditation, discovering the inherent intelligence of being present.
We will also spent one period a day engaging in interactive inquiry practice, investigating and understanding our experience of the Dharma in dialogue with others. Join us for the adventure of Awakening.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Scholarship offerings: In returning to the land, we will also be returning to our pre-pandemic scholarship options and policies. All scholarship rates require a minimum fee ($50/night). Scholarships are limited to TWO per calendar year for on-land retreats. And, while we are not able to offer “no one turned away”-type of scholarships for in-person retreats, they are still available for online offerings.
Room Occupancy Update*: Starting with our “Living with Awareness” retreat on March 27, 2022, we will return to double occupancy rooms. Many of our rooms are single occupancy (only 16 of 80 rooms are double occupancy). We will also return to offering a “guaranteed single room” rate and these will be limited (16). This rate guarantees a single room while helping to support scholarships and all we do here at Spirit Rock. The remaining single rooms are not exclusive to the top end of the sliding scale; however, they are initially prioritized for those with serious medical needs.
*Subject to change depending upon COVID-19 situation.

RETREAT TO BE HELD ON THE LAND!
Open to: Young adults ages 18-32 years
Description:
Come practice silent mindfulness and insight meditation for a week within a group of your peers. Give yourself a break from constant overstimulation and external demands as we create a supportive space for cultivating greater inner calm, spaciousness, and presence.
We will honor each person’s experience through radical self-awareness and deeper embodiment, exploring the ancient practices of guided and silent sitting, walking, heart meditations, movement, practice meetings with teachers, and Dharma talks. Over the course of the week, we will extend these practices until the entire day is one of steady, continuous awareness.
On the last day of the retreat we practice coming in and out of silence to learn conscious connection with the community around us. This is a fully silent retreat, and you will be asked to turn off and put away all electronic devices.

Taking refuge in silence, and within the container of the Spirit Rock land, we will practice stilling the mind and opening the heart. We will cultivate the beautiful heart qualities of mettā (lovingkindness), compassion, joy, and equanimity. The teachings will emphasize practical tools to carry the practice into daily life, supporting clarity, ease, and a sense of living in harmony with our heart’s deepest wishes. The retreat will include systematic instructions, guided meditations, sitting and walking periods, evening talks, and Qi Gong/Tai Chi practice.
