Refuge Retreats
Throughout the year we offer Refuge Retreats that focus on the fundamentals of Buddhism, meditation and contemporary practice. They include periods of seated meditation, working meditation, ceremonies and chanting, silent meals and time for quiet reflection. Refuge Retreats are open to those who have attended retreats at Shasta Abbey or at a temple of the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives. We ask that those coming to a Refuge Retreat to arrive between 2:00 and 4:30 p.m.
