Jikoji Zen Center: Note that these retreats are being held at Jikoji Zen Center in Los Gatos and not at Insight Retreat Center (IRC).  Jikoji is a more rustic setting than IRC and may be more difficult to navigate for people with physical limitations or dietary restrictions.  Accommodations are shared rooms, with designated areas for camping also available. You will need to provide sheets and/or camping equipment. If you have any concerns about this, please contact the Registrar for the retreat. Jikoji Zen Center: 12100 Skyline Blvd, Los Gatos, CA 95033  DIRECTIONS
Cost: Our retreats are offered freely at no cost to anyone who participates. Financial support for these retreats comes from donations participants offer at the end. Their generosity is what allows others to participate in future retreats. A refundable deposit is required to apply for a retreat. The deposit is refunded when one arrives at the retreat or if one cancels three weeks before the start of the retreat.
Lottery: All applications that come in during the first 3 weeks of registration are entered into a lottery. Those not selected can be placed on the Waiting List.
Insight Retreats are opportunities to engage in full-time mindfulness training. The daily schedule involves periods of sitting and walking meditation, instructions, dharma talks, work meditation, and practice discussion with teachers. Silence is maintained throughout most of the retreat.
