Come and stay here at the Abbey and train with the monastic community as a lay resident.

Lay trainees who have attended an Introductory Retreat and would like to deepen their practice are welcome to come for an extended period of time as a lay resident at the Abbey.  Lay residents join in the daily activities of meditation, working meditation, ceremonies, Dharma talks and discussions. Residential training provides the opportunity for an individual to step back from the usual engagements of life in the world in order to train within the refuge of the monastery and the monastic schedule.     Typical daily schedule: 5:30 rising 45 minute meditation period morning service working meditation breakfast working meditation lunch lunch clean up free time 30 minute meditation period working meditation Medicine Meal (dinner) kitchen clean up free time 40 minute meditation period free time lights out Shasta Abbey does not charge a set fee for attendance at any retreat. Instead, we live by and try to foster the Buddhist practice of dana — mutual giving or generosity — for all who attend retreats or train as lay residents.
