Retreats

PLEASE NOTE: THE 2010 GBF RETREAT IS FULL. CHECK BACK FOR DETAILS ON THE 2011 RETREAT IN JULY OF 2011.

The Gay Buddhist Fellowship’s 19th Annual Fall Retreat is scheduled for Friday evening, September 17th through Sunday afternoon, September 19th , 2010 . We return to beautiful Vajrapani Institute, nestled among redwoods and streams in the Santa Cruz mountains near Boulder Creek.

This weekend blends elements of a traditional, silent retreat—sitting and walking meditation—with interactive experiences presented by sangha members. We draw on the individual and collective wisdom of the sangha as our “teacher.” It is an opportunity to deepen both our practices and our connections to one another. This year's theme is Letting Go: Surrendering to Buddha Nature. Come join the exploration!
