Retreat Description:
Do you wish to live with more clarity, wisdom, and peace? The Buddha taught that there is a direct way for alleviating suffering and living with genuine ease and freedom in our lives – and that is through cultivating awareness through the Four Foundations of Mindfulness.
In this retreat, we will explore this liberating practice. We will investigate how mindfulness supports insights into what causes suffering and what creates genuine well-being. What arises out of such understanding is a tangible sense of inner clarity, spaciousness, peace, and freedom.
The retreat will be a mix of guided meditations, dharma talks, sitting and walking practice, and mindful movement, all held in the beauty and power of silence. Suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators who wish to refresh their understanding of this essential Buddhist practice.

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).
