I would love to know more about the retreat you did, if you'd be willing to share. That seems a lot more accessible to me, since I'm in the bay area.

- jmspring 11y agoSee reply below for what I did. There are formal retreats during the late spring to early fall. There is a retreat fee and different sorts of lodging prices (from shared dorms to private cabins on the creek). Some people just go to work and stay there at a reduced to minimal cost (typical work could be anything from landscaping to the kitchen to helping clean cabins). This sort of approach one stays in one of the dorms. What was surprising to me is the number of people there. Monks/students probably between 80 and 100 with guests in the same range. Tassajara Zen Center website has more details I believe. There are two other properties as well (in SF and in Marin County). http://sfzc.org http://sfzc.org
