Retreat Description:
A river of presence and awareness flows through all of life, connecting us with ourselves and each other. On this silent retreat, we’ll open to a direct experience of this clear, wakeful presence through an unbroken, integrated flow of meditation in movement and in stillness.

Through the forms of seated meditation, gentle yoga, and qigong, we will learn to sustain embodied mindfulness in a durable and flexible way that translates directly to our daily lives. This gives us the freedom to respond with wisdom and compassion to our challenges and to the suffering we encounter in ourselves and in the world, rather than reacting out of habitual conditioning. As we unwind our physical and mental contractions, we unveil our innate capacities for joy, wellbeing, and connection.

Financial assistance is available for all Spirit Rock residential retreats. Our scholarship rate is $40/night and available for all those with financial hardship with special funds allocated to People of Color (POC), folks with serious medical conditions, and young adults (age 18-26). Scholarship funding is offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Scholarships are budgeted per retreat and because they are in high demand, can run out quickly. We encourage you to register for a retreat as close as possible to the registration opening date (lotteries are an exception).
