About this Retreat

Join us for an in-depth 5 day retreat at the San Pedro Spiritual Development Center in Winter Park Florida. San Pedro Spiritual Development Center is nestled in more than 200 acres of beautiful land surrounded by Lake Howell. This location is ideal for practicing silence and meditation. Guided meditation instructions, small group inquiry sessions, dharma talks, yoga and rest weave together to structure the retreat.

Teachings Offered on Donation Basis

We are able to continue this work through the generosity and donations of participants and supporters. You can make a donation HERE to support these teachings. All of the amounts on the registration pages reflect the costs for food and lodging.

The Practices

We will practice sitting, walking and standing meditation together in silence, with guided instructions offered throughout the entire retreat. Opportunities to take part in small group inquiry sessions complement the silent meditation and allow you to dive deeper into your meditation process through inquiry with the teachers. Each day there will also be optional yoga/movement and breathwork sessions and rest.

Teachers

Paul Linn and Steve Bean will be co-leading this retreat. They have been co-leading residential meditation retreats through Gainesville Vipassana Society for over 25 years. This is a natural outgrowth of their love for these practices and a desire to share them with others. For more details please see their bios on this website.
