Order Retreat with Jayachitta
Jan 23 to 25, 2026
As part of the SFBC Rainy Season Retreat Jayachitta is offering a weekend at Dharmadhara for Order Members only. More information will follow, but Jayachitta will draw on her rich experience within Triratna, improvisation, and Dzogchen.
This is a rare opportunity for us to simply practice together. Hope you can make it!
HEALTH AND SAFETY
We highly recommend being vaccinated and boosted against COVID 19 but this is no longer required.
Please check all our requirements here.
FOOD AND WORK PERIODS
We will share shopping, cooking and cleaning. More information will follow when we have an idea of numbers.
ACCOMMODATION
As most of you know, Dharmadhara is a rustic residence with a very beautiful shrine room, located in Lake County – about 2.5 to 3 hours North of San Francisco. The main building has a kitchen, dining room, sitting room with wood burning stove, 7 small dorms, some with 2 beds, some with 3 beds, 3 indoor toilets and 2 showers. We ask that you come prepared with good earplugs and a willingness to practice forbearance towards your roommate/s. If you do not feel comfortable sharing a room with others we may be able to find space for one or two people, but this is not guaranteed, so please get in touch about this before you register. There is also the option to camp, although it will be cold, and possibly raining or snowing.
TRAVEL AND CARPOOLING
We encourage carpooling. If you need help organizing a ride please let us know and we will do our best to get you there. If you are driving and can offer rides, please also let us know. Thank you!
I’m sorry that we cannot arrange airport or train station pickups.
TIMING AND COST
The retreat is two nights, beginning Friday Jan 23, and ending Sunday Jan 25 by noon.
The cost of rent and food will be around $110. Please consider paying $150 to $200 to support the SFBC’s capacity to offer Rainy Season events. Thank you!
