Green Gulch Farm Conference and Retreat Center is located in a beautiful coastal valley just a short drive north of the Golden Gate Bridge, in Marin County, CA. Green Gulch is located between Sausalito and Stinson Beach in Marin County, just north of San Francisco, in a valley that opens out onto the Pacific Ocean. (Getting here) Surrounded by hundreds of acres of National Parkland, its organic farm and gardens provide a serene environment for meetings, conferences, seminars, and workshops. The conference center, offering delicious vegetarian meals and supported by an attentive staff, is complemented by one of the Bay Area’s most inspiring natural settings. Muir Beach is just a 20-minute walk away, and the surrounding hills offer miles of trails up and down the coast and into nearby Muir Woods National Monument.
As a traditional monastic Zen Buddhist practice center, Green Gulch also welcomes guests to take advantage of the peaceful feeling and natural rhythms of temple life to support their individual or group retreat.

COVID Policies for Conference Guests
Because Green Gulch is a congregate living facility our health and safety guidelines may be more restrictive than city and state mandates.
- Vaccinations: Green Gulch requires proof of full vaccination of an FDA-approved Covid-19 vaccine: Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, or Johnson & Johnson. Visitors must reach full vaccination prior to their arrival which includes a booster shot for all who are eligible (individuals are considered eligible for the booster shot five months after their second dose for Pfizer and Moderna and two months after the single J&J shot, and if they are over the age of 12). Other vaccines that have been approved by the World Health Organization will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
- Testing: Guests are required to provide proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken within 72 hours of their arrival for a PCR test or within 24 hours for a rapid antigen test (test can be from a lab or home test). Proof of negative results should be uploaded to the form emailed to each guest a few days before arrival or to the retreat leader.
If the guest has had Covid within the last three months, they should take a rapid antigen test within 24-hours of arrival rather than a PCR test.
- Masks: Mask requirements are subject to change in consultation with local mandates. Guests are required to wear KN95 masks in any indoor space not designated for their group.
- Illness policy: If someone comes down with Covid/cold/flu symptoms while at Green Gulch, they are asked to report this to the retreat leader immediately, they will be asked to isolate, take a Covid test, mask if indoors with others, and eat outside or in their room. If the guest is here in a pod (i.e. spouse, friend they're sharing a room with), those people need to follow the same protocol as the symptomatic person.
- If a guest tests positive, they will be asked to leave Green Gulch as soon as possible. If they cannot leave immediately due to travel restrictions, we will support their quarantine to the best of our ability.
- These guidelines are subject to change and could include other safety requests.
