Different kinds of stay, all in the same practice. Pick a length, pick a focus — or write to Laurie and she'll help you choose.
Seven curated formats — from a Dark Sky stay to silent contemplative weeks. Pick a length, pick a focus, build a stay that fits.
Flexible booking
From $130/night
All levels
From a beginner's weekend to a full ango. The calendar held together by Zen — with the structure of a group and the company of the sangha.
Fixed dates
Teacher-led
Five months in the daily rhythm of the center, in exchange for the work the season asks of us. Three focus areas: kitchen, garden, or grounds.
5 months
Room & board
When the weekend stops being enough. A full year (or more) inside the form, with a small stipend after six months and a slow application process.
1 year minimum
Open-ended
Full participation
Not every form needs travel. The Dharma Academy holds talks, recorded teisho, weekly courses, and member-only sessions for sustained practice between visits.
