Profile
Vallecitos Mountain Retreat Center is a unique place located in a very remote, off the grid, protected 135-acre wilderness refuge.
Diverse Retreats in an Intimate Setting
We provide not only a wilderness experience unplugged from the rush of technology and everyday life, but also an intimate setting accommodating a max of only 35 guests. Meditation experience is not required for the majority of our programs which range in length from 4 to 14 nights. Retreats run May through October.
The teachings at Vallecitos are a banquet of diverse offerings that aspire to reflect the many faces of awakening in today’s world. We recognize that there are countless entry points to awakening, including song, ritual, movement, relational practice and so much more. We offer classical insight meditation retreats in which we take the refuges and precepts. We also offer retreats such as mindful self-compassion, special practice for veterans in wild nature, and dialogue about race, culture and white privilege.
Intend to Make a Difference
When you set aside daily obligations and go on retreat at Vallecitos you are reminded of the stillness and courage that reside as your deepest nature. Our practice as an organization, as well as our meditation retreats, reflect our deepest intention to make a difference in the world – to respond to the state of our times. It is through you that the qualities of kindness, wisdom and compassion come home and into your communities.
