This retreat held in the last days of the year offers a time of quiet and community, with a gentle schedule allowing for rest, reading and walking to nearby Muir Beach and in the hills surrounding Green Gulch Farm. Participants are invited to join the Green Gulch community in the daily schedule of early morning meditation, service, temple cleaning and breakfast. After a morning break, we will come together for a period of meditation, followed by a class and Dharma discussion. 

After lunch, the schedule is open for quiet reflection, hiking, reading and rest, or for volunteer work around Green Gulch for those who would like to connect with the residential life in that way. We will meet again for the evening meal at 6 pm.

This retreat includes the Green Gulch New Year's Eve Celebration. We end the retreat on the morning of New Year’s Day with a toast at the Suzuki Roshi memorial site, followed by breakfast.
