Five day weather forecast for Vancouver, Squamish and Whistler. To insure that ongoing retreats are not disturbed, we ask that you visit by prior arrangement only. The Centre is located 3 km off the Province's major North-South route, Highway 99, the 'Sea to Sky Highway'. Driving north from Vancouver on Highway 99, the turn off for the Retreat Centre is about 33 km past Squamish. You may park briefly in front of the main lodge to unload, but please be sure to remove your car to our parking area after checking in at the office.
Travel time is normally two hours.
Tell the driver that you want to get off at the Garibaldi Provincial Park road to Garibaldi Lake and Black Tusk. If the driver appears to be uncertain about where you want to get off, mention that the road is just past the Rubble Creek bridge and near the BC Hydro dam at Daisy Lake. After passing through Squamish it's good to remind the driver about where you want to get off. Retreat Centre staff will be waiting to pick you up at the main highway. Due to expansion of office space, lodging is no longer available at the Vancouver Siddhartha's Intent Centre.
