NEW-YORK
Extended Residential Retreat with Jac
Booking now open
Dates: August 8th to September 5th, 2010.
Location: Lifebridge Sanctuary, High Falls, New York - www.lifebridge.org/sanctuary.cfm

Details: This is a fully residential, 28-day retreat. There is no commuter option. The maximum enrolment is 22 people. As of March 11th, there are a total of 6 places remaining. Retreat attendees must commit to the full 28-day retreat. Retreat places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, as determined by the receipt of the retreat deposit (Please note that Jac has the final decision on whether a Retreat place will be offered or not). Once all retreat places have been allocated, a waiting list will be kept.

Outline Schedule: The retreat will consist of two daily satsangs for 6 days per week with Jac followed by a day of rest/integration. The retreat will be held largely in silence. As these things have their own momentum it is likely there will be extra silent sits etc with Jac.

Cost: Figures quoted below include the teaching fee, accommodation (doubles, triples, quads, or quints), plus three organic, vegetarian meals per day.
Double rooms (2 rooms available only): US$ 3,555.00.
All other rooms: US$ 3,155.00.

Volunteer discount: A $400.00 discount will be available for a very limited number of volunteers, to assist with meal setup and clean-up.

Note: Double rooms, and the volunteer discount, will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, according to the date of receipt of the retreat deposit.
