About this retreat
This is a committed, long-form practice period rather than a discrete retreat. Over 80 days, participants engage in a structured program with formal agreements — a practice setup that asks for genuine continuity and relationship with teachers and the community. The theme of embodiment suggests focus on how practice lives in the body, not just the mind.
The center has not yet published pricing, a detailed daily schedule, or specifics about what "expanded offerings" and participation looks like for in-person attendees. Contact Appamada directly for lodging information, session times, and what commitment the formal agreements entail.
