We urge people to be in retreat for a minimum of 2 days and ordinarily two weeks would be the longest stay. However, special arrangements can be made for longer stays if someone is pursuing a recognized training or discipline requiring the extended period. Simple meals, bedding, and towels are provided. You prepare much of your own food from the guest kitchen, and you may request what foods would be available. During some times of the year a hot meal would be prepared for you for supper.
Vegetarian options are always available.
It is expected that individual, private retreats are silent unless special arrangements are made, such as for playing a musical instrument or chanting. Ordinarily an individual's only breaks in the silence would be discussions with a guide or teacher. Scholarships are available upon request. The appropriate guidance or instruction is provided by the center at no extra charge. It is assumed that these would be self catered and would last for a limited time.
