How To Visit A Retreat Northern California

By Raymond Brooks


One of the best places to find quiet and solitude is a retreat northern California. In fact, some of the best retreats in the world are located in the hills and valleys of central and northern portions of the state. As a result, residents and visitors often frequent these establishments on a regular basis.

Some retreats are based in religion, others in spirituality and others, nothing at all. When it comes to California, most are either secular or spiritual in nature. Though, there are also some which host a more traditional religious view with regards to a specific belief system. When visiting any center, it is advised that individuals call for information on dress code, conduct, religious association or other issues of concern.

When visiting, whether clothed or sky-clad, the silent stillness is often the first thing a visitor notices. In areas prone to wildlife, visitors can often hear a variety of natural sounds including animal cries and sounds as well as the roar of raging waterfalls, rivers and streams. With this area being home the well known California Redwoods national and state parks, trees often tower overhead whether walking or driving through the area.

One center located in Marin county offers a combination. In addition, the land hosts a community forest with trails. A number of individuals find that simply visiting the center and taking a hike provides the level solace sought. Whereas, at other times, individuals work toward goals with a guide, attending various seminars, services and workshops.

While the area is much larger than the owner first had in mind, it was closer to the city and provided the type of natural resources to draw visitors. The land also held a significance as it had belonged to another spiritual leader earlier in history. As such, the spiritual sect now in charge of the acreage decided to make the purchase.

There are also other areas individuals can stay to create a personal retreat. One of these is at the local Point Reyes National Seashore Youth Hostel, another is to camp out alongside the Pacific Ocean. Sometimes simply getting a way for a camp out for a night or two can provide the same solace as expensive or in-expensive lodging at a center.

Whether traveling for business or pleasure, visiting one of these religious or spiritual centers can often help revive body, mind and spirit. For others, simply taking a hike in the community forest, or camping out along the Pacific can provide the same sense of calm. Whatever the case, taking a break from the stress of everyday life can often help individuals find a new sense of peace, if only in the moment.

While most residents in the area have adapted to the retreat center, others wish the land would become a state or national park. It is doubtful that this will ever be the case as it seems the owners have no intention of selling. Ultimately, most residents are satisfied as if not for the center, the area would most likely now be a subdivision with housing rather than a place of quiet reflection.
