Please consider paying at the highest rate that you can afford: your generosity supports Spirit Rock's efforts in offering lower sliding scale rates and supporting the large number of scholarship requests. Registration fees DO NOT include teacher dana. At the end of the retreat, there will be an invitation to offer dana to the teachers and to Spirit Rock.

Any amount paid above the Sustainer Rate is a tax-deductible donation to Spirit Rock. Your confirmation email is your tax receipt.

In need of a scholarship? If you need a scholarship to attend, DO NOT continue registering now as this will disqualify you from a scholarship opportunity in this retreat. For more info and how to apply, see our Financial Support FAQs.

6 Accommodations and Food

All attendees should be prepared for the possibility they will be in a shared accommodation and to "accept what is offered" in the spirit of the Buddhist precepts. We have many more single rooms than double rooms; however, due to the high number of single-room needs, we cannot honor all requests.

Single-room priority is reserved for those with serious medical needs (with a limited number reserved for those selecting the Supporter rate which guarantees a single room, when that rate is available). All remaining rooms will be randomly assigned. We gratefully welcome room-share requests!
