What to Expect
During each retreat, there are four one-and-a-quarter-hour sessions a day, each involving a balance of teaching and guided meditation.
Country Retreats at Hidden Villa in the Los Altos Hills
We now hold regular quarterly retreats at Hidden Villa in the beautiful Los Altos Hills. These are open to everyone interested in meditation. These are guided by our Resident Teacher, Tessa Logan. Hidden Villa, in the Los Altos Hills, is an exceptionally lovely retreat facility that we have been using regularly for many years.
City Retreats at the Kadampa Buddhist Temple in San Francisco
Going somewhere special to engage in a meditation retreat is wonderful, but you don't have to leave the city to do retreat! We also hold monthly day-long retreats at our Temple in the Mission district of San Francisco.
New Year's Retreats
We always do at least two weeks of Vajrayogini retreat in the New Year (for those with Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments) at the residential center, Saraha Center, located at 415 Delano Avenue in San Francisco.
