why a residential retreat? Time in retreat allows us to step out of the complexity of our life, to listen deeply to our body, heart, and mind. Meditation retreats offer practical instruction and group support for discovering inner understanding and freedom, and helping us on our path of awakening. Spirit Rock retreats combine the fertile atmosphere of silence with extensive time for meditation and walks in nature, supported by systematic teachings of the Buddha and a simple, nourishing living environment. Careful guidance and training is offered in meditation. Most retreats are suitable for both new and more experienced students.
