Whether this retreat happens depends on how many people reserve, so your deposit is both a reservation and a vote:
- A $1,000 deposit reserves your seat.
- We'll email everyone the week of October 5, 2026 to let you know whether enough people signed up for the retreat to go ahead.
- If we don't reach the minimum and the retreat doesn't run, you'll receive a full refund — automatically, no questions asked.
- Once we confirm the retreat, the deposit becomes non-refundable. It's applied toward your total retreat cost, and it can't be returned if your plans change after that point.
Note: discount codes can't be applied to deposits. If you have one, you'll be able to use it toward your remaining balance once the retreat is confirmed.
Please only reserve if you're seriously planning to attend. Once we commit to the venue, we're locked into the headcount.

Probably one of the nicest things that's ever happened to me, like up there with beautiful events like marriage.
Absolutely amazing. A secret nobody is talking about, and I've never felt anything like it. I'm so grateful; I'm a better and happier person.
To know there's this infinite resource within me that's accessible without external conditions…it's just crazy. You can't unsee that.
This experience was the best thing that's happened to me this year. I had no idea how enjoyable meditation could be.
Why would I have a second piece of chocolate cake when I know I can beat that by 100x in 10 minutes with my eyes closed?
The jhanas may be the single most important thing on the planet right now. You may think it's superintelligence or longevity. That's nothing without wellbeing.
