Retreat Overview

If a long-lost aunt gave you a million dollars in her will, but you didn't know of her gift, it wouldn't do you much good. Your True Nature is like that. The gift has already been given, but we may not be aware of it. It is good news indeed that we don't have to earn the gift or be worthy of the gift. We only need to recognize the gift. The tricky part is that it is hard to recognize something when we are looking in the wrong direction. This weekend will be devoted to pointing as directly as possible to your already existing inheritance.

Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat is for anyone with a sincere interest in discovering what this life is truly about and who, or what, is living it.

The retreat is non-denominational, but Don will draw on useful pointers from all major wisdom traditions.

No previous meditation experience or spiritual practice is required, although the program will offer value to practitioners with all levels of experience

We offer a variety of simple and comfortable accommodations designed to support your retreat experience.

Shared Cabins

  • Guests attending alone will be paired with a same-gender roommate in a shared cabin, unless a private cabinette is selected.

  • Guests attending with a friend or partner who wish to room together will be assigned housing in one of our tiny houses or earth shelter cabins.

Private Cabinettes

  • For those seeking a private space, our cabinettes offer single-occupancy lodging. Each cabinette includes a small personal-sized refrigerator, a fan, a space heater (if needed), and a ventilation fan.

  • ​Bathroom and shower facilities for cabinettes are located a short walk away inside the Conference Building, which is open 24/7.

  • Cabinettes do not have in-room kitchens, but guests staying in them will have access to the Conference Building kitchen to prepare simple meals.
