The Luminous Mind Residential Retreat

In the Thai Forest tradition, the mind is described as naturally luminous — clear, awake, and radiant by nature. When we settle deeply into awareness, we discover something warm at its core: a knowing that feels, and a feeling that knows.

This seven-day silent retreat invites practitioners to explore the intimate relationship between awareness and heart. Through still and moving meditation, dharma reflections and instructions, and individual meetings with teachers, we will investigate how clarity and compassion arise together — not as two separate practices, but as two expressions of the same luminous mind.

Held in the quiet beauty of the Sierra Nevada, this retreat offers the conditions for genuine stillness and deep inquiry. Whatever your practice background, you are welcome here.
