Fall 2017 Bolinas Retreat
You are cordially invited to attend the annual Fall retreat of the San Francisco Meditation Group on November 10th, 11th and 12th, 2017. The theme this year is "Loyalty". The retreat will take place at the Pacific House at the beautiful Commonweal Retreat Center in Bolinas, Marin County, CA. This site, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, is situated amidst some of natures most beautiful and peaceful scenery, which is especially conducive to a spiritual retreat. We will be having a silent retreat and ask for silence within the immediate vicinity of Pacific House. Please be aware of your voice when communicating on the grounds.

* Separate accommodations are arranged for men and women. The beds are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
