Registration opens April 13 at 7 pm
We are thrilled to announce that our annual spiritual retreat will be celebrating its 40th year at the beautiful Seabeck Conference Center this year! This enduring milestone is a testament to the abundant blessings of God and our Gurus, and the deep spirit of our community. We’re especially excited to share that this year’s retreat will be lay-led, and will return to being led by monastics in 2026. Owing to the SRF Annual Convocation being held in late June, monastics are unable to join us this year. After discussion with our guiding counselor, Brother Devananda, and Center Department at SRF, we are forging ahead with a silent retreat themed “Fervor of the Heart”. The Seattle Center of SRF will host this regional retreat from June 6 – 8, 2025 offering all attendees a sacred space for spiritual growth and reflection, enabling them to focus on their devotion and deepen their relationship with God. The uplifting weekend program will include immersive thematic classes, guided group meditations, visualizations, Kirtan chanting, inspirational videos, opportunity for introspection, and dedicated time for reflective journaling – all revolving around the retreat’s central theme.
There will also be ample opportunity for relaxation, taking walks on the retreat grounds, practicing the presence of God, and enjoying the surrounding natural scenic beauty. The retreat facilities offer sweeping views of Hood Canal and the Olympic Mountains. The grounds have several walkways that meander past manicured lawns, fruit orchards, and wooded trails. Silence will begin with the opening class on Friday and will continue until lunch on Sunday afternoon. A detailed itinerary of the weekend’s events will be shared when we open up online registrations.
Please plan to bring your Kriyaban Card or Lessons Student Card to the retreat for the classes and group meditations.
