RETREAT TO BE HELD ON THE LAND!
Description:
Explore wisdom teachings from Buddhist and Indigenous traditions, based in Insight Meditation, mindfulness, and the sacred path of Indigenous Awareness. This retreat will explore similarities between Indigenous and Buddhist ways of knowing, in service of peace in the heart and mind, and wise action in the world. Gentle mindfulness practices open our connection with nature and ancestors, describe a path to decolonizing the mind, offer ways of gently releasing challenging experiences, and invite us to walk the Beauty Way and other sacred paths of Indigenous Awareness.
This retreat is silent except for teacher-led Q&A, small groups, or other practice meetings.
IMPORTANT – Details on our current COVID Safety Protocols for In-person Retreats. Subject to change.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
Scholarship offerings: In returning to the land, we returned to our pre-pandemic scholarship options and policies. All scholarship rates require a minimum fee ($55/night). Scholarships are limited to TWO per calendar year for on-land retreats. And, while we are not able to offer “pay what you can”-type of scholarships for in-person retreats, they are still available for online offerings as space allows.
Room Occupancy Update*: We have returned to double and single occupancy rooms. Many of our rooms are single occupancy (only 16 of 80 rooms are double occupancy). We have also returned to offering a “guaranteed single room” rate; these rates are 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.
Selection Details:
Applications are accepted between [ADD LOTTERY DATE BRACKET]. All applications are assigned a random number. Together with the random number we are balancing many additional variables to create equity, diversity, inclusion, and access. Those factors include: scholarship needs & availability, affinity group “membership”, age, gender balance, and experienced or new practitioners. Applications received after the close date are automatically placed on the wait list (and will not be included in the first round of selections). Notification rounds can move quickly in the first few weeks following the first acceptances, so we recommend staying ready. You may be accepted sooner than you realize!
You will be notified about the selection results within two weeks of the application close date. If you have been offered a space, you will have two days to pay a deposit to accept/hold the space. If you don’t accept the space within this deadline, we will offer it to the next person in line.

Continuing Education Credits: This program offers 6 CE credits for $60 for psychologists, and California licensed MFTs, LCSWs, LEPs, LPCCs, nurses, and chiropractors.*
Description:
Self-compassion involves treating ourselves kindly, like we would a good friend we care about. It provides support when times are tough so that we are more emotionally resilient. It motivates us to make needed changes in our lives not because we’re worthless or inadequate, but because we care about ourselves.
During this weekend retreat, you will practice simple tools for responding compassionately in daily life. You will learn about research demonstrating the benefits of self-compassion. Through experiential exercises, you will gain practical skills so that you can stop being so hard on yourself, handle difficult emotions with greater ease, and motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism. Practices will also be introduced to help ease stress for caregivers. This weekend retreat is relevant for the general public as well as to practicing mental health professionals.
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!
Description:
Mindfulness offers us tools to develop our capacity to pay attention, regulate emotions, and cultivate states of lovingkindness, compassion, and even-mindedness. Mindfulness can be practiced in a range from focused attention to wide open, spacious, natural awareness. Over time one can access states of profound well-being in both silent meditation and everyday life.
In this retreat we will practice mindfulness through sitting and walking meditation, as well as through lectures and the opportunity to meet with teachers who will guide our practice. While rooted in the Buddhist practice of mindfulness, this retreat will focus on the practical applications of mindfulness and the range of ways to practice it. It is open to people of all backgrounds and experience, especially those interested in secular mindfulness.
This retreat is silent except for teacher-led Q&A, small groups, or other practice meetings.
This program offers 11 CE credits for $110 for psychologists, and California licensed MFTs, LCSWs, LEPs, LPCCs, nurses, and chiropractors.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Scholarship offerings: All scholarship rates require a minimum fee ($55/night). Scholarships are limited to TWO per calendar year for on-land retreats. The exception is the Toni Ko Scholarship which is a one time, limited award. And, while we are not able to offer “pay what you can”-type of scholarships for in-person retreats, they are still available for online offerings as space allows.

Description:
The practice of law can be exceptionally stressful. Legal training itself, the demands of the workplace, and the kinds of people drawn to the profession come together to create what we might call the legal mind, which can make reducing stress and accessing well-being difficult. In this daylong meditation retreat we’ll practice meditation as an antidote to stress and burnout, and explore the perils of the “legal mind.” This retreat is open to all legal professionals and law students whether you are new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner.
All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.
