SUMMARY:Concentration\, Jhana and Breath Retreat | in California
DESCRIPTION:Registration has closed.\nConcentration\, Jhana\, and the 16 Steps of Mindfulness with Breathing\na 10-night Meditation Retreat in California\nled by Shaila Catherine\nTuesday\, May 7\, 2024 – Friday\, May 17\, 2024\n \nThe retreat begins with registration from 2:30 – 3:30 pm on Tuesday\, May 7. The retreat ends at 11:45 am on Friday\, May 17 followed by an optional lunch for those who wish to stay for the community meal. \nPartial attendance is possible\, but it must begin on the first day of the retreat and priority will be given to those registering for the full retreat. \nThis retreat will utilize the breath as the primary meditation object and will encourage the development of meditative skills that lead to deep concentration (samadhi) and insight (vipassana). Daily group instructions will focus on the sixteen steps in the Anapanasati Sutta as a route to jhana and/or liberating insight. \nMeetings with the teacher in small groups and one-on-one dialogs will tailor the practices to meet the needs and interests of individual students. Some students may choose to emphasize concentration practice throughout the retreat with the intention to develop the jhanas; others may emphasize vipassana or practice both concentration and insight in conjunction with mindfulness of breathing. \nThis retreat offers a special opportunity to train in concentration and jhana practices with personal guidance from Shaila Catherine. It is one of the very few retreats each year in which Shaila systematically guides students to establish jhana by working step by step with the Anapanasati Sutta. See our Concentration and Jhana FAQ page for more information about developing concentration and the absorption states of jhana. \nThis silent retreat is structured with alternating periods of sitting and walking meditation\, dhamma teachings\, and teacher consultations. \nPrior to the retreat\, please read the first half of Focused and Fearless by Shaila Catherine\, and the Anapanasati Sutta. You may download the sutta at: https://suttacentral.net/mn118/en/bodhi \nSITE FEATURES: This retreat will be held at Redwood Glen\, a lovely retreat center nestled in a redwood forest between La Honda and Pescadero. It’s about a 15-minute drive from Pescadero State Beach\, and about a 1-hour drive from either the San Francisco Airport or the San Jose Airport. This retreat center is convenient to reach\, and yet offers a secluded and intimate environment for deep meditation practice. You will enjoy the benefits of natural beauty\, a spacious meditation hall\, comfortable accommodations\, delicious meals\, and access to walking trails. The center is nestled in a majestic redwood forest\, adjacent to county parks and open space preserves. Just a few minutes’ walk from the meditation hall you will find yourself strolling along creek side paths\, surrounded by the powerful serenity of the redwood forest. \nCOVID PRECAUTIONS: Please read our page on COVID Measures and Compliance Requirements. This will explain  the measures we are taking to prevent the spread of illness\, and the actions that will be required of retreat participants. \nRegister now! Space is limited. \nThe retreat begins with registration at 2:30 pm on Tuesday\, May 7; it ends with an optional noon lunch on Friday\, May 17. Participants who are traveling from afar might need to check flight times carefully\, and if necessary arrange to stay in a hotel the night before the retreat. Early-arrival accommodations are not available at this retreat center\, and we must depart shortly after lunch on the closing day. \nTO REGISTER: Please use the online form at the link below to submit your registration and waiver forms. \n\nRegistration Form: April 27.

Accommodations include comfortable hotel-style rooms with ensuite baths\, and a few dorm-style cabins. RV camping with hook ups are available. See the application form for accommodation details. \nCOST: 10 nights (includes accommodation and meals)\, plus a donation to the teachers at the end of retreat. \n\nFull retreat for single occupancy: 10 nights is $3\,000 – $2\,400 sliding scale (estimated actual cost for single is $2600)\nDouble occupancy sliding scale: $2500 – $2100 (estimated actual cost for double occupancy is $2300)\nCamping in personal tent or RV sliding scale: $2300 – $1800 (estimated actual cost for camping is $2000)\n\nFee covers only accommodations\, food\, and basic administrative expenses.

By selecting an amount above the estimated actual cost\, your generosity supports those who need to select a lower rate to attend the retreat. Selecting an amount below the estimated actual cost is equivalent to receiving a partial scholarship. \nThe sliding scale will allow most scholarship needs to be self-managed.
