Sliding Scale: $25-$108. Our sliding scale options for this program include financial support for our teachers. Code JM1D22.
Description: Amidst all the pains in the world and our own lives, how do we allow our hearts to be open and responsive? How do we stay true to our deepest intentions for how we wish to be in the world? The Buddha offered a path of practice to support finding peace within by cultivating an open and responsive heart and mind. In this half day of practice, we will cultivate Wise Intention: intentions of kindness, compassion, and non-clinging. The instructions will emphasize bringing forth a natural balance and ease in both our meditation and in the whole of our lives.
All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.

RETREAT TO BE HELD ON THE LAND!
Open to: Everyone
Description:
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.
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.
IMPORTANT – Details on our current COVID Safety Protocols for In-person Retreats.
