SUMMARY:Personal Practice Retreat--September 2025
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to be able to once again host a 1-week personal retreat at Ser Chö Ösel Ling\, our retreat land in Goldendale\, WA. Some may sign up for the entire week and others will come for a weekend. The week or weekend of retreat will begin on a Friday September 19. \nDuring the personal retreat time\, all retreatants keep the same schedule and practice on their own in their rooms or in one of the meditation halls. Everyone gathers for meals and in the evening after dinner for a short meditation and the recitation of aspiration prayers or inspirational songs. All of the meals will be provided. \nThe personal retreat is an excellent way to deepen one’s practice in the support of other community members. Being able to devote more time to meditation away from our habitually busy usual environs can be very inspiring and nurturing. Each day will have periods of silence\, and silence will also be observed for a number of days during the week. \nBefore engaging in personal retreat\, it is recommended that participants have some previous experience that includes at least some facilitated group retreat and perhaps some individual retreat. The most skillful approach to personal retreat is to begin with a weekend and gradually increase the length of one’s stay. Beginning with a retreat that is beyond one’s current capacity can undermine the potential benefit of one’s stay and unnecessarily dampen enthusiasm for future retreat. \nRegardless of experience\, each participant will create an individualized practice plan – either by themselves or in consultation with an advisor. If you are new to personal retreat with KCC\, we request that you speak with an advisor about creating an outline for your retreat in order to facilitate a meaningful experience. To design a retreat plan\, you can reach out to Lama Eric by making an appointment HERE\, or to Lama Kathleen at kdabenz@gmail.com. \nRegistration\nThe number of participants for this retreat will be limited to 16 participants in single occupancy cabins only\, allowing for a spacious environment. Registration is now closed. \nPricing (includes single cabin and 3 meals per day)\nPer night: $90\, minimum two nights.\nEveryone starts on the same day\, and chooses the length that works for them. \nFinancial Assistance: Financial Assistance (up to 50% of the retreat cost) may be available for individuals with financial constraints. The number of FA available depends entirely on donations to the Financial Assistance Fund. For those who can afford it\, please consider contributing to the Financial Assistance Fund so that others who are less financially fortunate are able to attend KCC retreats. \nTo apply for Financial Assistance\, review the KCC Financial Assistance Policy. Once you have read the policy guidelines\, contact the Financial Assistance Team at KCC-FA@kcc.org. After you have received confirmation\, you may register for the retreat. \n \nMeals and Chores\nThree vegetarian meals will be served daily. Retreatants are expected to contribute up to one hour per day toward chores that will be done during the three meal breaks.\n\nVIEW EVENT DETAILS: https://staging2.kcc.org/event/personal-practice-retreat-september-2025/
