Take a break from your routine and dedicate a day entirely to yourself in the tranquil surroundings of Green Gulch Farm & Zen Center. As you arrive, you’ll be greeted by the refreshing scents of eucalyptus, redwood humus, and fresh ocean air. The farm is just a stone's throw away from the beautiful Muir Beach with trails that lead to the stunning Muir Woods to the north and the expansive Golden Gate National Recreation Area to the south.
Our retreat will begin at 9:30am with our first of two yoga practices. The morning session, a dynamic yoga class, will be a physically engaging practice that will leave you feeling energized, balanced, and connected to your body. In the morning after the asana, there will be a period of guided meditation and breathing exercises. Our afternoon practice will include quiet postures, restorative poses, and yoga nidra to support the relaxation response.

Can remembering the “cosmic,” the absolute, or the bigger picture support you in the mundane day to day nitty gritty of being alive?
To use Buddhist terms, how do the absolute and the relative come together?

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase “each other”
doesn’t make any sense.
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.Rumi
