About the Retreat

Tuition-Free Program

This weekend retreat offers a simple but powerful invitation to slow down, rest deeply, and reconnect with the quiet clarity of your own mind. Set within the stillness of Drala Mountain Center, participants will engage in periods of silent sitting and walking meditation, light mindful movement, and short guided reflections to support awareness, compassion, and ease.

Silence allows us to see the mind more clearly, to notice its patterns, soften our reactivity, and discover a natural sense of spaciousness beneath all the noise. Whether you’re beginning your meditation journey or returning to practice after time away, this weekend provides a gentle container for rediscovery.

This retreat is part of the Foundations series at Drala Mountain Center, offering accessible, tuition-free opportunities to deepen your experience of meditation and mindfulness in community.

‎

We invite you to join us and enjoy:

  • Periods of sitting and walking meditation in silence
  • Simple guidance on posture, breath, and working with thoughts
  • Light mindful movement to support embodied awareness
  • Optional interviews with a meditation instructor
  • Nutritious meals and spacious time for rest and reflection

‎

Program Schedule

  • Friday Evening: Arrival, orientation, and settling into silence
  • Saturday: Alternating periods of sitting and walking meditation, dharma reflections, mindful meals, and rest
  • Sunday Morning: Closing practice and group reflection before lunch

Lodging

We have several accommodations to choose from during checkout.
All options include our healthy meals and drinks. Inc V, VG, GF.

Dormitories
Rooms with beds for up to 7-8 people. Gender-segregated with men in their own dorm and women in another. The dorms use a shared bathroom down the hall, which is also equipped with shower stalls.

Monk Rooms
A cost-effective option for participants looking for indoor, solitary lodging, but who don’t mind using a shared bathroom or are looking for a more affordable retreat solution. These rooms are in the same hall as the Ridgen Dormitories, but offer more privacy than the dorms. In addition to a bed, bedding, a private room and closet, the monk rooms also have a large window and a desk and desk chair for added comfort.

Single and Double Rooms
The perfect choice for a retreat where you want both your own space and your own bathroom. Each room offers a little more space, a dresser and closet, and a 3/4s bathroom (toilet, sink, and shower, no bathtub) attached to each room.
