I stayed there for 5 nights. Very peaceful days. The Silence there is amazing. The ambience is very appropriate for a Silent Retreat. This is my 2nd visit to Vajrapani. Each time gets better.

I've heard about Vajrapani for decades , just returned from my first retreat there, and it fully lived up to the great things everyone told me. An absolute gem- pristine nature, quiet, profound energy, with the most kind, present, dedicated staff. I will definitely be back!

Peaceful place staffed by kind people. If solitude and contemplation are what you are after, then you'd be hard-pressed to find a better place in Northern California.

Such a beautiful, peaceful and restorative center. Wonderful staff, fantastic food, ideal for time away to think, write and contemplate. A jewel on the mountainside, among the redwood trees!!!

Thank you Varjapani Institute for offering such an amazing retreat experience. In this time of such division and distraction, the week long retreat offered such a unique opportunity for prioritizing myself, my values and how I turn out in the world. I've attended many retreats over the years, and this Essence of Nectar retreat provided just the right combination of deep teachings, natural beauty and genuine opportunity for reflection. Nowadays, there seldom seems to be enough time for this kind of personal development. how fortunate I feel to have made the time to step back and remember what really matters.

I enjoyed a beautiful and peaceful 3 day silent retreat. The staff are warm and genuinely kind, the food is delicious, and the space is clean, simple, and well maintained. I especially enjoyed the trails, outdoor spaces and outdoor shower, (an indoor option is available). A wonderful place to calm the mind and restore your spirit.
