Retreats
When Truth Sings, Love Dances
An online retreat day with Dorothy Hunt
"Without love, there is no Truth.
Without Truth, there is no love."
—Adyashanti
Date: Sunday, February 1, 2026
Time: 9:30 a.m – 12:30 p.m, 1:30 p.m – 4:00 p.m (Pacific Time)
Format: online retreat. Suggested donation: $60, payable through PayPal.
(no one turned away for lack of funds)
Event Description: Truth is very quiet, yet sometimes she whispers. When she is deeply received, sometimes she sings. When Truth sings within you, Love begins to dance, to shine, to fill your heart until you can no longer remain in comfort’s cage.
Please join us for this exploration of living more aligned with your deepest truth and opening to its compassionate and tender love.
A Six-Night Silent Retreat with Dorothy Hunt and guest teachers Brent BecVar and Shantam
What: Six-night silent retreat at Vajrapani Institute, hosted by Moon Mountain Sangha.
Date: June 1-7, 2026
Format: In-person silent retreat at Vajrapani Institute.
Location: Vajrapani Institute Retreat Center in Boulder Creek, California
Event Description: Retreat offers a powerful opportunity to open to the depth and silence of Being. It provides a time and space free of the usual demands of daily life to immerse oneself in Silence, to recognize and remember our true nature, and to investigate the implications of living from this truth. Vajrapani Institute, the site for this residential retreat, is a beautiful Tibetan Retreat Center situated on 70 acres of redwood forest in the Santa Cruz Mountains. This rustic and remote setting features a dormitory building for men and women that includes indoor restrooms as well as single and double rooms, six lovely retreat cabins, and an option for camping.
Dorothy will be joined by two guest teachers:
-
Brent BecVar, M.S. has been guiding Silent Retreats with Deepak Chopra and teaching meditation for 34 years in addition to being an educator and administrator with the Chopra Center during that time. Trained as a psychotherapist, Yoga instructor, and Vedic Educator, he is the Director of the Vedic Counseling program incorporating Ayurveda, Yogic philosophy, and Jyotish, Vedic Astrology, in a therapeutic environment.
-
Shantam was invited to teach by Adyashanti in 2002, and is the founder of Fluid Presence™, a holistic approach to Self-Realization, as well as being an internationally known instructor and practitioner of warm-water body work therapy. Whether on land or in the water, Shantam invites a return to the heart, where body-breath-emotion-spirit are deeply held in the awake Presence that connects us to all levels of Being. She and Dorothy taught a retreat together at Vajrapani in 2009.
