Spring Rain Sangha offers one-day and multi-day guided retreats throughout the year. By physically and psychologically removing ourselves from the responsibilities of everyday life, retreats offer an ideal way to wholeheartedly enter into the practice of meditation and suffuse the body/mind with Dharma. Upcoming retreats are listed below.
