Retreat Description:
Take a few days to open up space in your body, your mind, your heart, and your busy life. Unplug your devices, unwind your nervous system, nourish your spirit, and realign yourself with your heart’s deepest values and intentions. This silent retreat offers a seamless flow of meditation in stillness and in motion. Each day includes gentle guided yoga; seated, walking, standing, and lying down meditation instruction and practice; and dharma reflections and discussion. You’ll go home with powerful, practical tools for staying grounded and spacious in your daily life, while responding with wisdom and compassion to the suffering in the world and the urgent needs of our times.

Please note that this retreat begins at 9:30am on opening day and includes lunch, and ends at 3:00pm on closing day and also includes lunch. Because the timeline for a short, two-night retreat is very tight, it is imperative that all participants arrive between 9:30am – 10:30am. Room assignments, work meditations, and orientation need to begin promptly so lunch can be served and the retreat can begin. If you cannot arrive before 10:30am, we suggest that you consider a different retreat where the timing works better for your schedule. If you are considering this retreat, please plan your schedule to allow for a full three days of retreat.

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).
