Spirit Rock would like to offer everyone who regularly attends events/classes at the East Bay Meditation Center a special rate of $15 per night.
"Refuge in Sangha": Learn about the power of ‘Sangha' -community- through the lives of a diverse group of people who have found acceptance, empowerment and support in a growing Oakland-based meditation center.
This retreat will follow the archetypal heroine/hero’s journey lived by the Buddha and his wife, Yasodhara, as it relates to our contemporary life. It will be a traditional Vipassana retreat, alternating periods of silent sitting and walking, with meditation instruction, dharma talks and meetings with the teachers.
