PROGRAMS | PERSONAL RETREATS

We warmly welcome you to spend some time in personal retreat at our Portland center. We now have several well-appointed guest rooms available. Whether you live in the Portland area or halfway across the world, you and your spiritual practice will benefit from an immersion in our beautiful and powerful environment.

Personal retreats are an opportunity to:

• Deepen your contact with spirit
• Dedicate yourself to meditation practice
• Relax, reflect and re-align your life
• Focus on healing and well-being
• Engage in seva (selfless service) using skills you have or learning new ones
  

Personal retreats can be for as short as one night or for a period of several weeks. During your retreat, you can join us for scheduled classes and programs, or have us design a program especially for you with a focus you select. The special program could include meditation instruction, private hatha yoga classes in our yoga studio, referrals to wellness practitioners, and meditation center work projects. You'll also have the guidance of one of our senior meditation teachers.

The daily schedule at The Movement Center includes morning and evening meditation, several hatha yoga classes, and shared breakfast and dinner. There are many opportunities for seva (selfless service). In addition to a large meditation hall, you are welcome to enjoy our common living rooms, community dining room, three hatha yoga classrooms, an exercise room with fitness equipment, and acres of garden.

If you are enrolled in The Movement Center's hatha yoga teacher training, consider extending the training weekend into a full retreat week.

Most of our guest rooms are singles with shared baths; there are a few larger rooms with private baths. The rates begin at $80 per night. For longer stays, monthly rates are available.

If you or someone you know would like to arrange a personal retreat, you can submit an application on-line. If you have questions, please contact Doreen Flores at 503.231.0383, x. 24 or by email. Please give us at least 5 days notice in advance of the time you would like to visit.
