Why this retreat center? I've chosen Gainesville Retreat Center for its light-filled and modern meditation hall; comfort in all seasons (heat and AC in all rooms); high quality fresh organic food with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options at all meals; beautiful, natural setting with miles of hiking trails on the property; dedication to meditation retreats; and affordable cost. We'll be the only group on site.  Everything about the center and the teaching will support your retreat and self-care.  Plus--winter in sunny Florida! 

This silent teacher-led retreat satisfies the retreat requirement for MBSR and MSC teacher training, however, all mindfulness practitioners are welcome! Please contact Trish if you are not sure whether this retreat is right for you. Note: This silent retreat is not appropriate for those in mental health crisis, with unresolved trauma or with serious mental health conditions.
