$520 USD per person
We just received word from the staff of the Stanford Sierra Conference Center that they have decided to keep the property closed through June 19th, 2020. That means Gangaji’s 2020 silent retreat at Fallen Leaf Lake is officially canceled. Naturally, we are sad to lose this opportunity to gather in this beautiful place. We are on their schedule for 2021.
Retreat with Gangaji
Attending a residential retreat with Gangaji offers a unique opportunity to withdraw from the normal distractions of your everyday life and inquire into what you truly want. With the support of Gangaji, other participants, and beautiful, contemplative settings, you can embark on a deep inner dive of self-discovery. This is the gift of retreat!
A retreat with Gangaji is not a time to fix or change anything about yourself. Actually, it is a time to rest, a time to retreat from any stories you may be telling about yourself, or definitions and identities you have constructed in your imagination.
With self-inquiry, Gangaji draws your attention away from your thoughts and into the direct experience of what is always here and who you truly are—peace itself, consciousness itself. In the willingness to retreat from your search for just one moment, you can profoundly realize you are already home, already free. This is the secret that lies at the heart of retreat.
Throughout the event, Gangaji offers you her deepest support and guidance in meeting yourself fully.
During our time on retreat…
We will meet with Gangaji twice a day to ask questions and share our reports. On silent retreat, we speak only during our meetings with Gangaji. A retreat with Gangaji may also include silent meditation, chanting and video presentations.
The Fallen Leaf Lake Retreat takes place near South Lake Tahoe, at the Stanford Sierra Conference Center. Our group will have exclusive use of this special property.
