Retreat to be held on the land

In helping us to deepen our refuge and reconnect with what is most precious and sacred in this life, this retreat will draw from various teachings and practices that open us to the heart of compassion. The retreat will be informed by a synthesis of Theravāda Buddhism as transmitted through the Thai Forest Tradition and the teachings of Ajahn Chah, and Mahāyāna practices and teachings around Quan Yin’s compassionate Bodhisattva Path.

Our time together will include a morning chanting and bowing practice, chanting several times throughout the day, and a concluding Quan Yin Compassion Ceremony. These devotional practices invite an attitude of humility, respect, and reverence that helps to reconnect us to the sacred. The retreat will also include Dharma talks, meditation instructions, daily Yoga sessions, and group practice meetings with the teachers.

This retreat is silent except for teacher-led Q&A, small groups, or other practice meetings.

Registration opens at 9:00am (Pacific Time) on February 19, 2025, and closes at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) on November 21, 2025. A waiting list will be created if the retreat fills early.
