OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATIONS The Deep Springs Zen Center hosts a variety of overnight options in its rustic country home.
All bedrooms are located on the second floor, and offer clean, quiet accommodations for all guests, including access to bathroom, shower and spa tub facilities. All beds include linens and pillows.
We also offer a "camper" package for attendees who want to bring their own bedding and spend the night in the peaceful vibrations of the Meditation Hall.
SILENT RETREAT After the closing ceremony, guests will enter into the quiet retreat hours. Gaze at the stars, read your favorite book on the couch, cozy up with your journal and tea in bed or simply sit in presence and stillness of our beautiful space.
A silent retreat is one of the most powerful ways to move into your inner stillness, unplug from the noise of the world and, at last, hear the voice of your Higher Self. You will be amazed at the difference you feel the next morning once you have moved fully into the silence!
