How It Works

The Path from
Application to Arrival

01

Apply

Complete the written application thoughtfully. The questions ask about your inner life, not your resume. Allow 20–30 minutes.

02

Conversation

If the application suggests a good fit, the teacher will reach out directly for a brief call. This is a mutual assessment — as much for your discernment as ours.

03

Reserve

Accepted applicants receive a place confirmation and a 50% deposit invoice. The remaining balance is due two weeks before the retreat date.

04

Prepare

A curated reading list and a preparation call with the teacher in the week before. Arrive Friday. Let what needs to happen, happen.

Honest Answers

Practical
Matters

Is there a refund policy?

Deposits are non-refundable if cancellation occurs within 21 days of the retreat. Earlier cancellations receive a full deposit refund. We do not fill spots speculatively — when you commit, the place is held for you alone.

Do I need prior meditation experience?

Some familiarity with contemplative practice is helpful but not required. What is required is genuine intellectual seriousness and a real question — the kind you can't stop returning to.

How do I get to Cold Springs?

The retreat house is approximately three hours from San Francisco by car. Detailed directions are provided upon acceptance. We recommend arriving well-rested. Carpooling with other participants can be arranged upon request.

Is there Wi-Fi?

No. There is intentionally no Wi-Fi in the house. This is not a deprivation experiment. It is simply that the work here requires full presence, and full presence is incompatible with being available to everything else.

What is the food like?

All meals are prepared on-site — whole foods, clean, nourishing. Dietary restrictions are accommodated. The meals are part of the retreat, not a logistical detail.
