  • References

    Applicants are not always able to accurately assess their readiness to attend intensive group retreats, and we do not have staff resources to support special psychological needs. Therefore, we now require newcomers to Bodhi Retreats to provide two referrals from established meditation teachers, recognized sangha leaders, or previous participants of Bodhi Retreats. We may contact one or both of your references to verify that they perceive you as a mature, emotionally stable, suitable candidate for this intensive silent retreat. Please provide two references here.

  • Guidelines for Preventing the Spread of COVID-19

    Attendance at this retreat requires vaccination to prevent a COVID infection. If you need to request a special exemption to the vaccination requirement, please contact the registrar. If extreme circumstances prohibit vaccination, we will consider admitting a maximum of 2 unvaccinated participants who agree to strictly isolate for 14 days prior to the retreat, can travel safely to the retreat, and test negative for COVID-19 in the 3 days prior to the retreat.

  • Ignatius House Accommodations, Bedding, and Towels

    The retreat center provides all towels, sheets, blankets, pillows, and bedding for their rooms.

    Accommodations at Ignatius House are modest single rooms with private ensuite bathrooms with showers. All retreatants will have a single room.

    There is one room with two twin beds available. A couple may room together if both parties agree to practice in silence. Our experience, however, is that couples usually will go deeper in their meditation practice if they room separately. Please consider this before requesting to room with an intimate partner. There is no change to the per person sliding scale registration fees if you request this double room. Contact the registrar for arrangements.
