Event Details

This retreat is full and is already in session. We are no longer accepting wait list applications.

Cost: $1505 – $685 sliding scale, plus a donation to the teacher(s) and retreat staff. Code 346R18.


Prerequisite: Completion of at least one Insight Meditation day program.

The ancient invitation of the Buddha was to “Come and see” for yourself the truth of the way things are. Through focused and sustained meditative practice we can quiet habitual patterns of the mind that cause restlessness, stress, and disconnection and look deeply into the nature of our own experience.

Mindful and penetrating contact with reality gives rise to liberating insight by addressing the causes of suffering and dis-ease where they reside which is in our own minds.

When we learn to reside in the rich and vivid space of awareness, the source and ground of all experience, our deepest nature and true home, spontaneity, creativity and a great flexibility in being and expression reveal themselves to be endemic to our nature.

This retreat is open to beginners and experienced practitioners.

Spirit Rock extends a special invitation to young adults (age 18-26) who wish to attend this retreat at a rate of $35 per night, on a first come, first serve basis. A limited number of special rates are available, please apply early.
