The successful bidder for this item will be entitled to a six-night residential retreat at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre, California, during 2022. 

Set among 411 acres of serene oak woodlands in the secluded hills of West Marin County, California, Spirit Rock Meditation Center is a refuge from everyday life where it's possible to quiet the mind, soften the heart, and see life in a new way. For over 30 years, people have been going to Spirit Rock for many reasons, but they amount to essentially the same thing, wanting a more easeful relationship with life. The spaciousness and stillness of Spirit Rock and the caring teachers, staff, and volunteers, create a supportive environment for turning inward and letting go of the struggles that get in the way of experiencing the freedom and joy that are inherent in every moment of life. 

Retreat invites us to step out of the complexity of our life, listen deeply to our body, heart, and mind, and open to presence and inner clarity. You will receive detailed, practical instruction in meditation and mindfulness, and support for deepening and integrating the insights that arise on the path. Spirit Rock retreats offer extensive time for meditation and walks in nature, and exploration of the liberating teachings of the Buddha, in a simple, nourishing, community environment. Most retreats are suitable for both new and more experienced practitioners. To find the retreat that's right for you, please visit our residential retreat calendar.
