Olema Retreat Announcement

The Vedanta Retreat in Olema is open to day visitors from 10 AM – 6 PM, seven days a week. We hope to welcome overnight retreatants later this year.

As always, the purpose of the Retreat is quiet contemplation and meditation. Sincere spiritual seekers are welcome. We ask that you observe the following rules.

  • Please check-in at the monastery (green barn) upon arrival.
  • Please stay on the trails and designated meditation areas.
  • Please note that the only indoor areas available are the Meditation Room, Library, and Restroom on the first floor of the Men’s Retreat House. All other buildings, including the Women’s Retreat House are off limits.
