Open Practice Weekends offer a welcoming space for both new and experienced meditators to settle into practice, deepen their meditation, and enjoy the changing beauty of the Wonderwell seasons. With a flexible format, guests can choose to join guided practice and dharma talks or follow their own rhythm throughout the weekend, creating a retreat experience that feels both supported and personal.
This residential-only gathering is designed for those who want time away from daily routines in a peaceful mountain setting. Whether you come to rest, reflect, or simply spend time in mindful quiet, the atmosphere encourages openness, ease, and inner exploration. All are welcome to take part in the weekend in the way that best supports their practice.
Wonderwell Mountain Refuge

The Vajra Suite is a spacious, air-conditioned private bedroom with private deck and bath, furnished with a king bed. This accommodation also includes a separate meditation room with spectacular views of the mountains and a private kitchenette. By choosing this Benefactor room option and paying at a higher rate, you are supporting Wonderwell Mountain Refuge in our efforts to maintain and improve our historic building and the grounds and to make retreat practice more accessible for all. Thank you.

This private room selection provides a queen size bed and en-suite bath. There are two rooms located on the second floor and one on the third floor. These rooms can also be used by couples staying at Wonderwell. In that case, please select "2 guests," and an adjustment is automatically made in the room price for the second person. The second guest will then receive an email with a link to complete the personal registration questions and will not be considered registered until those questions are answered and received. The queen beds come with 2 pillows, a blanket, and a bedspread. In concern for energy and water conservation we ask guests to bring their own queen bed linens and bath towels. Wonderwell does rent sheets and towels when it's necessary for those flying in for retreat - $10 for bed linens and $5 for a bath towel. Please select those add-ons during the registration process if you need it. The rooms can be drafty at times; each room may vary in temperature depending on the season. Fans and heaters are in the closet. You may bring anything else that you need for your comfort. We ask that guests bring their own queen bed linens and bath towels. Fireplaces in bedrooms are not to be used and no candles please.

If you register for a shared double room, you must accept sharing the space with someone you don't know. Each shared room in this price range contains two twin beds and an ensuite bathroom.
