1/2 Day Retreats:
Once a month we offer a 1/2 day meditation followed by a light meal. These retreats go from 8am-12pm and consist of walking and sitting meditation with two guided meditations and the rest in silence. Limited space which fills up quickly. Please check the red schedule button up top for the upcoming dates.

Morning Sits: 
Morning meditation is a 45 min. silent unguided meditation.

Afternoon Sits:
Afternoon meditations are a 30 min. guided meditation.

Evening Sits:  A 10 min. silent meditation followed by verbal prayers and aarti offering (a light offering) with an optional sit of any length following that.

Please note after the aarti offering we observe silence until the morning. So please enjoy the silence and feel free to sit in the temple as long as you'd like or walk outside and enjoy the night sky. 

A flash light or head lamp is helpful for the evening sits as we have lights out at the end of the sit and it ends in total darkness.

Please also note that the use of the house ends 20 mins after the aarti lamp goes out.
