A Dao Bums Retreat?

Recommended Posts

Post-Covid, of course.

 

My little vision is to find a peaceful spot that maybe rents out cabins, and that we could have a retreat for maybe 3 days.

 

That there wouldn't be any particular focus of the retreat, but we can do group meditations on the spot, or whatever.  We've known each other soul to soul for years, and I can't tell you how wonderful it would be to meet other Bums in person.

 

And people could bring their musical instruments if they want,  we can have fun with each other's talents.  At the very least, share photos of artwork on our phones.

 

And it shouldn't be too awfully far from a good restaurant, but on the other hand a nice remote and peaceful feeling.  I know, I'm not asking for much.

Electricity would be nice.  Same with flushing toilets.

 

A central location might be the most desirable as far as everyone's convenience.  But I would have a willingness to fly anywhere.

 

We may have plenty of time visualize the dream retreat, for our purposes. (Whatever we decide those will be)

 

So if anybody knows of a suitable location for this type of seminar, please contribute to this thread.  It would be sort of fun to create a parallel universe while the rest of the planet implodes on itself.  :)

That place looks wonderful.  I'd be willing to fly there if this virus ever goes away.  Perfect for spiritual shenanigans.

I was lucky enough to be there for four days a few years back. It is a truly beautiful spot with a definite 'spiritual feel' to it.

 

I hope we meet there some day.

I've been up Snowden, but I think I'd have been better off at Cae Mabon.

There's Yokayo Ranch outside Ukiah, California, though I've never stayed there.  Hmmm, lots of wedding stuff on the website, but the biodynamics people convene there too:

Fun to phantasize.  I'm just over the hills at Clear Lake:
