2018 Monastic Thanksgiving Retreat

Led by the Abhayagiri Community

November 17-25, 2018 at Mount Madonna Center in Watsonville, CA (near Santa Cruz)

Abhayagiri Monastery in Redwood Valley, California and the Sanghapala Foundation invite you to join Ajahn Sudanto, Ajahn Karunadhammo, Ajahn Nyaniko, Debbie Stamp and others from the Abhayagiri Community for a 9-day retreat over the Thanksgiving holiday.

We will create a monastery environment during our time together, and we offer you this opportunity to explore the Dhamma in a setting that differs somewhat from a typical meditation retreat. Because of the length of this retreat and the adherence to the Eight Precepts, you must previously have sat at least one five-day meditation retreat.

Registration/lottery will be open July 1-31, 2018 and applicants will be notified mid-August.
Additional details and relevant forms will be posted on July 1st for those interested in applying.
Please consult our calendar for more details.
