Retreats
Silent Retreat Day Honoring the Life and Teachings of Ramana Maharshi
“There is no greater mystery than this—
that being the Reality ourselves,
we seek to gain Reality.”
Date: Saturday, April 12, 2025 @ 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. (with lunch break)
Format: in-person retreat; also live-streamed.
Location: Congregational Church of Tiburon (145 Rock Hill Drive, Tiburon, CA 94920)
Event Description: Ramana Maharshi has been a light shining in the darkness for countless seekers of Truth. His expression of Truth beautifully and lovingly embodies the Absolute, and yet his method of Self-Inquiry does not require seekers to leave home, hearth, job, or family life. In his words, “All that is required to realize the Self is to be still.” Join us for this day of silence and satsang, reflecting on the life and teachings of this great sage. There will be a 1½-hour break for lunch and afternoon tea. Apart from satsang, the retreat will be held in silence.

Five-Day Silent Retreat with Dorothy Hunt at Vajrapani Institute
Date: Tuesday – Sunday, May 13 – 18, 2025
Format: Silent in-person retreat at the Vajrapani Institute
Location: Vajrapani Institute Retreat Center - Boulder Creek, California
Event Description: Retreat offers a powerful opportunity to open to the depth and silence of Being. It provides a time and space free of the usual demands of daily life to immerse oneself in Silence, to recognize and remember our true nature, and to investigate the implications of living from this truth. Retreat activities each day will include several periods of meditation and satsang, simple movement (optional), an easy karma yoga job, and free time. There will also be an opportunity to meet privately in dokusan with Dorothy. Except for dokusan and satsang, this retreat will be held in silence. Vajrapani Institute, the site for this residential retreat, is a beautiful Tibetan Retreat Center situated on 70 acres of redwood forest in the Santa Cruz Mountains. This rustic and remote setting features a dormitory building for men and women that includes indoor restrooms. With the exception of a special-needs shower, there are scenic shower stalls up a steep hillside walk. Tent camping is also available. For more retreat site information, you may visit www.vajrapani.org.
