Dear friends,

Some of you have wished you could be at the Center for a retreat and, for reasons of cost, health, distance, work, or family, couldn’t make it. We have been thinking of you.

We are happy to share that an online retreat option will run alongside the on-site 7-Day Retreat led by Sandra Gonzalez from November 7 to 14. We hope that sitting from home, without the expense of travel and lodging, brings the retreat within reach for those who have wanted to join us.

Many of you will remember that we paused online retreats late last year. Since then, a dedicated team of members, teachers, and staff has been working behind the scenes, on both the technical and communication sides, to create an online option we can offer with confidence.

The online retreat will include:

Bells that follow the Springwater retreat schedule, so your day keeps the same rhythm as the Center
Sandra’s morning talks, live or recorded, so you can listen along with those in the room or catch up when it suits you
Daily dialogue for Zoom participants, facilitated by Judith von Radetzky, who brings years of experience in meditative inquiry
A Zoom room open throughout the day, where you can see other online participants and sense that you are sitting together

Our online retreats are offered on a donation basis. We invite you to consider what feels right for you at this time, and to choose from three suggested levels per day of attendance:

Sustaining: $45 per day

Community Support: $30 per day

Benefactor: $75 per day

These levels reflect the real costs of bringing a retreat online. Gifts at the Sustaining level help keep the program financially viable. Gifts at the Benefactor level open the door for others, including people from economically disadvantaged regions of the world who might otherwise never have the chance to sit with us. We are deeply grateful for this generosity.

No one will be turned away for lack of funds. If none of these levels fit your circumstances right now, please come as you are and give what you are able. We trust that each person knows best what they can offer.

With gratitude,
