Pre-registration is required for non-residential retreats. Pre-registration is especially important for retreats that include lunch — it ensures you will get lunch. If you have registered, we will notify you if a program is canceled. Retreat registration forms are available here.
Accomodation
Out-of-town non-residential retreat participants are responsible for arranging their own accomodation.
What to Bring
- Please bring your own lunch unless otherwise indicated.
- Chairs and some cushions are available; if you have a sitting gear or a cushion, please bring it.
- You will be asked to remove your shoes prior to entering the meditation sanctuary; you may wish to wear or bring warm socks.
- Please wear layered clothing as the sanctuary temperature can vary from cool to warm.
- In consideration of all participants, please do not wear scented personal care products to BCIMS classes and daylongs (including "natural" products).
