Registration & Dana
Pricing includes lodging and all meals. It does not include Dana for the teacher.
What is Dana?
In the Buddhist tradition, Dana (generosity) is the practice of giving freely from the heart. The teachings are offered without charge, and retreatants are invited to offer Dana to the teacher as a way of expressing gratitude and supporting her continued teaching.

Digital Detox
To support deep practice, we ask that you refrain from using phones or internet-connected devices throughout the retreat. Emergency contact information will be provided to share with loved ones before arrival.
