Description:
O Nobly Born, O you of glorious origins, remember your radiant true nature, the essence of mind. Trust it. Return to it. It is home. — The Tibetan Book of the Dead

Come join us for a weekend connecting and reconnecting with what is already here—your innate goodness, clear mind, and steady presence. Within the complexities of everyday life, it’s natural to forget about these inherent beautiful qualities of mind-heart that sustain and nurture well-being. Through practices, talks, and sharing what we’ve learned, we’ll peel back the layers, befriend what’s there, and open a space of remembering who we are.

Our time together will include periods of sitting/stillness and moving/walking meditation, noble silence, Dharma talks, time outside in nature, and time to talk with each other. Bring your lunch, bring a friend, and bring your heart.


Sliding Scale: Our sliding scale options for this program include financial support for our teachers. Please consider paying at the highest rate that you can afford: your generosity supports the teachers as well as Spirit Rock and your fellow practitioners who need to pay less.

Benefactor – $600
Sustainer – $450
Basic – $250
Scholarship Rate (BIPOC, M/K) – $50

*Recording Note: Registration includes unlimited access to this program’s recording. You must register by the deadline above. The recording will be available in ~10 days after the program.
