Daylong retreats are sometimes held on a quarterly basis from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Passionist Earth & Spirit Center ("The Barn") located at 1924 Newburg Road.

Have you thought about signing up for a residential retreat, but were held back by the cost? Retreats are an important support to the practice, but the reality is that they can be costly.
LVC has limited funds available to help support sangha members to participate in retreats, whether these are offered by LVC or other organizations.
If you are planning a residential retreat and are having difficulty covering the registation fee, we may be able to assist with a partial scholarship.
