Retreats
Retreats provide an important opportunity to deepen into the stillness of being while temporarily setting aside the tasks of daily life. While sitting meditation and satsang are an integral part of Jon's retreats, participants are also given ample free time to relax into nature, take walks, and have unstructured time. Whether for one day or one month, the invitation to "stop" that retreats offer can be a powerful agent for deepening into the truth of one's own nature.
Jon presently offers two residential retreats per year. These three-night silent retreats are held at
Santa Sabina Retreat Center
in San Rafael.
 
  In addition to the three night retreats, Jon will occassionally schedule one-day retreats at different locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. All currently scheduled retreats, with sign-up information, are listed below.
