Retreats

Information
 
Except where noted, one day, weekend, 5 and/or 7 day retreats will be held at our temple in Barellan Point.

Please note that all 3 Day Sitting retreats start from Thursday 8pm and end on Sunday afternoon.

If you are interested in attending a retreat, please complete a retreat application form. 

Once this is received, the retreat schedule and some general retreat information will be sent.

Upon registration for a retreat, each participant will receive information about what to bring to the retreat, retreat guidelines, and an emergency contact form.

Before the retreat begins, participants will be expected to arrive in time to help set-up, and stay after the retreat ends, to help clean-up. While orientation will include a review/demonstration of all of our practice forms, participants are expected to attend weekly sessions  (or the equivalent training with another Buddhist teacher/group), prior to applying.
