An Immersion in the Direct Path to the Freedom of Being
Join Amoda Maa for seven days of deep immersion in the direct path to awakening and the recognition of our true nature.
Retreat offers a rare opportunity to step out of the momentum of everyday activity and enter more fully into the depth and simplicity of being. At the heart of this retreat is Amoda’s teaching and transmission — a direct invitation to recognize and rest as the silent radiance of being. Through guided meditation, discourse, inquiry and periods of quiet contemplation, she invites us beyond the habitual structures of thought, identity and seeking into the recognition of what is already whole, free and luminous.
The retreat unfolds through two teaching sessions with Amoda each day, allowing the transmission and inquiry to deepen naturally over the course of the week. Questions are welcomed as part of this living exploration, giving space for the teaching to meet each person directly. One or more days may be held in silence, opening into an even deeper intimacy with the stillness at the heart of experience.
Between sessions, there is spacious time to enjoy nourishing meals, walk the land, connect with others in unhurried moments, or simply rest in the beauty and simplicity of the surroundings. Evenings may bring spontaneous gatherings — poetry, movement or heartfelt conversation — held in a spirit of ease, intimacy and joy.
Set amid the peaceful hills and oak woodlands of Northern California, San Damiano Retreat offers a serene and sacred sanctuary for a seven-day immersion into the radiant truth of your own being. With sweeping views of the San Ramon Valley and quiet places to pause, reflect or simply be, this retreat invites you to awaken to the inner luminosity that shines beneath all experience — an ever-present light that naturally brings clarity, openness and authentic connection.
