Cultivating Insight: A Simple and Powerful Practice- Vallecitos Retreat Center

Vallecitos Mountain Retreat Center

During this week-long silent mindfulness meditation retreat, we will cultivate the quality of awareness that supports us in attending to every moment with kindness and acceptance. Through this simple, yet powerful practice,  we are invited to look deeply, to understand the nature of suffering,  and to allow our inner  wisdom to blossom. As we develop this inner knowing, we bring greater freedom to ourselves and our communities.

We will offer meditation instructions (including sitting, standing, and walking),  guided lovingkindness and compassion instructions, as well as Dharma talks,  practice discussions, question and answer periods, and ample time to practice. This retreat is suitable for newer and more experienced students of Buddhism.

We require all people who visit the land to be fully vaccinated. We will require a copy of your vaccination card prior to arrival. Vallecitos reserves the right to modify, cancel or close at any time.
