Since 1983, we have been enjoying the basics of monastic life, combining silence with ways of deep learning. This retreat is a time to practice the stillness that comes from stilling the mind. Spend a couple of days or a full week in the beautiful ponderosa sanctuary of La Foret, where urban voices are muffled, and the pace of life is slow enough to meet yourself again.

There are many flexible options including the ability to register for all or just a few days of the event. We can adapt the options to fit your needs and schedule.

Tiered pricing and scholarships are available. Do not let cost deter you from joining us for this transformational event!

Register Here. Registration Closes Monday, June 23.
