In essence, the whole purpose of retreat is to more fully engage in our life. WRC offers a place where we can take time for intensive practice and study, free from our many daily distractions.

Group Retreats
One of the best ways to introduce yourself to the joy of retreat is to sign up for a staffed group retreat. This provides a powerful and supportive group situation to enter into intensive practice.

WRC offers monthly group retreats where meals, lodging, meditation instruction, organized practice sessions and outdoor nature walks are offered. These programs are always staffed by highly experienced meditation instructors who have been trained and certified. See the programs page for a schedule of staffed group retreats.

WRC is also available to other groups who wish to staff their own programs.

Contact us for further information.

Individual Retreats
Solitary meditation retreats are recommended once one has a well-established meditation practice and has been working with a meditation instructor. Solitary retreats are highly recommended to deepen one’s understanding of the view and practice of meditation.

The schedule you follow on retreat can be determined by your teacher or meditation instructor. Generally, one does eight or more hours of meditation and study in three to four sessions a day with time in between for sleep, meals, and relaxation.

WRC’s main facility has an East and West Wing allowing two separate solo retreats to occur concurrently.
