Our monthly retreats occur the second Saturday of each month, with two meditation retreats and one working retreat per quarter. Please inquire at the center about which type of retreat will be happening this month. Meditation retreats begin at 9am and last until about 3:30pm. They consist of sitting and walking meditation, a dharma talk, and private interviews with the attending Guiding Teacher. A vegetarian lunch is provided for those in attendance. We ask those attending to donate $25 dollars on the day of the retreat. Working retreats begin at 9am and last until about 12pm. They consist of light chores and maintenance projects around the center, such as sweeping the meditation room, washing the windows, vacuuming, and so on. No meals are provided, but those attending are welcome to bring light snacks.
