Retreat Cabin Application

The retreat cabin is reserved for guests who have already attended a weekend retreat or a longer stay at the monastery.

Set at the edge of 23 acres of forest, the cabin is only a short walk from the monastery buildings, yet it offers the quiet, secluded atmosphere of a forest hermitage. It includes running water, electricity, a small kitchenette with an electric stovetop and compact refrigerator, and a compost toilet, making it well suited for short solo retreat practice.

During your stay, you will have access to the forest trail system, open meadows, and gardens, along with the privacy needed for solo meditation and dharma study. The retreat cabin is intended to support those who wish to deepen their meditation practice through solitary retreat.

To be eligible, guests must have prior retreat experience, an ongoing meditation practice, and a guiding teacher.

If you are interested, please use the registration button to complete the online application.

The cost is $75 per night or $350 per week.

Arrival is required on Tuesday afternoon or Friday afternoon between 3 PM and 5 PM, and departure must be on Sunday or Tuesday morning before noon.

All retreatants are also asked to follow the cleaning procedure before leaving.

Guests bring their own food and bedding.

After your application is received, you will be contacted with additional details about your stay.
