Experience life-changing meditation from your own home
- From September 27th to October 4th, 2025, join us for a week-long online retreat.
- Online retreats are perfect if you prioritize flexibility, ease of access, or control over your experience. You can create your ideal environment, whether that means sleeping in your own bed, eating the meals you prefer, or booking lodging like an Airbnb in a location that suits you.

Important notes
- Eligibility requirement: You must be at least 18 years old to attend.
- Prices are listed per person and include a full week-long retreat program.
- You can join from most timezones in the US and Europe.
- If you’re in Europe, you will have a fully-adjusted schedule with organized watch-parties to watch recordings of sessions that happened in the US timezone. You will receive the exact same content and time with facilitators.
- Participants in Asian time zones may find the schedule challenging due to time differences. We don't typically don’t recommend joining from these regions as it may impact your retreat experience.
- The opening session begins at:
- US timezones: Saturday, September 27th 5:00 PM PST
- EU timezones: Sunday, September 28th at 9:00 AM CET
- Please plan to wrap up any important plans by the kick-off session and dedicate the rest of the week to meditation.
- This is a full-week retreat. Please only sign up if you can attend the entire program. If you foresee any conflicts, reach out to us before booking.
- Despite being an online retreat, you will be expected to meditate and engage with the curriculum for the entire day during the retreat. You’ll need to clear all outside commitments and prepare to be mostly offline for the entire week. If that’s not possible, please consider joining us at a different time.

Online format and schedule
- Online retreats are an excellent opportunity to cultivate a meditation practice from the comfort of your own home. To ensure you are able to fully dedicate yourself to the meditation practice, we advise that you:
- Ensure you have a private space where you can meditate for the duration of the retreat (like a private room where you will not be disturbed)
- Warn anyone you live with that you will be fully dedicated to meditation for the duration of the retreat
- Once you sign up, you will receive detailed instructions on how to set up your meditation environment to minimize distractions.

❓
Are online retreats as effective as in-person?
- People often expect worse results from online retreats than in-person. This isn't the case. We’ve seen similar results across both online and in-person retreats for both % of participants in jhanas and willingness to recommend the retreat.
- Our online retreats have exactly the same curriculum as the in-person ones
- Since you discover jhanas in the privacy of your own mind, the quality of instruction and your environment matters more than whether other participants are physically located next to you. Learning jhanas in-person vs. online may be like eating a meal at the park, at your own dinner table, or at a friend’s house – the core experience is the same!
- See Are Online Retreats as Good as In-Person? for more details comparing online and in-person retreats.
