RETREAT: May 6 – 16, 2025
This retreat will follow the approach to deepening concentration and attaining the absorption states of jhāna as described in Shaila Catherine’s first book, Focused and Fearless, recently republished under the new title, The Jhanas. Instructions will use the breath as the primary meditation object and will encourage the development of meditative skills that lead to deep concentration (samādhi) and clear insight (vipassanā). Daily group instructions will guide participants to efficiently overcome hindrances, cultivate the jhāna factors, develop skill in the meditation object, apply balanced effort, and learn how to enter, emerge, and master the jhāna attainments.
Register early! Space is limited.

We keep this retreat small to enable in-depth guidance from Shaila. Nestled in a tranquil Redwood forest, this site offers a powerful and intimate environment for deep meditation practice. You will enjoy the benefits of natural beauty, a spacious meditation hall, and access to extensive walking trails.
ACCOMMODATIONS:
The site has cabins, lodges, and a conference center with hotel-style rooms. Although all rooms have multiple beds, we will use most rooms as singles. A discount for double occupancy is available for couples or friends who arrange to room together. RV and tent camping is an option at this center.
