In the midst of your busy life, take a minute and imagine this: a cloudless
blue sky; green hillsides dotted with cows and sheep; the gentle scent of the nearby
ocean; a cup of tea; silent meditation. Can you feel yourself relaxing?
This setting for the Freestone Retreat Center is a historic and pastoral
valley only 90 minutes from San Francisco or Oakland. Almost every house in the
town of Freestone is on the Historic Register. The Freestone Retreat Center is a
farmhouse over 100 years old that has been lovingly cared for and maintained. Now
it is offered as a sanctuary for people longing to reconnect with their own sweet
and serene nature.
The center offers non-sectarian meditation workshops, courses, hatha yoga,
chanting and other (non-residential) events . For information
on events, see the calendar listing.
For those who would like to create a rejuvenation get-away, there are several
fine bed-and-breakfasts and small hotels within a 10 minute drive. Excellent
beaches are also only 10 minutes away. Nearby towns include Occidental, Bodega
Bay and Sebastopol. |
