Programs
Monkey Valley Retreat Centre Programs and Workshops
The programs at the Monkey Valley Retreat Centre allow intimate contact with nature to help participants deepen into their own true nature.
To foster connection with the earth, most programs are conducted entirely outdoors, with participants camping and sleeping on the earth.
Programs combine ancient and contemporary methods for opening our awareness of interconnectedness with the earth and with each other.
We are happy to create a program to meet the needs of your group. Please contact us to discuss your group’s needs, interests, and goals.
Vision Fast Retreats
July 5 - 11, 2009
3-day fast, all ages (16 - 86)
September 13 - 19, 2009
3-day fast for business executives

This journey can be seen as having two functions: a rite of passage to mark an important transition in your life; and a rite of renewal to renew or strengthen your connection to yourself, to the earth, and to the sacred dimension in your life.
The vision fast can be used for inquiry and celebration of life at any time of change. This year we are introducing a special fast in September designed especially to address the challenges that people in the business world face as they contemplate career change, whether through choice or job loss.
