For human beings to liberate themselves from all limitations and experience the infinite, they need to gather and concentrate all their energies in the stable center of being, the “I”.

Hazrat Salaheddin Ali Nader Angha

Retreats

Where are the retreats held?

Four times a year, Tamarkoz® weekend retreats are held in an old mansion in the redwood trees of Mt. Tamalpais, across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. It is a place of quiet surrounded by the beauty of nature.
The retreats provide an opportunity to “get away from it all”, relax, and nourish the soul. There is time and space to explore, revitalize, and rejuvenate.

Sleeping arrangements are shared in large rooms containing several single beds, with linens supplied. Bathrooms are also shared.
The delicious food is all prepared on site and is fresh and nutritious. Retreats typically begin with dinner on Friday evening and continue until just before noon on Sunday.
