LEAP Foundation weekends are held at a private and lovely hilltop retreat home. Located one hour north of San Francisco, it is truly a magical spot, with views of the valley, a Greek labyrinth, hiking trails, lovely gardens and fountains, and a hot tub, open to the sun, the moon, and the stars.
It has 6 bedrooms with 18 beds plus 6 extras in the den, living room and studio (group space). They range from 2 to 4 beds per room, with quilts, pillows, and linens provided. There are 2½ baths plus 2 outdoor showers with hot water. There is a hot tub (always hot) on a large, private redwood deck overlooking the western hills.
Travel Directions to our retreat house
Our meals will be wonderful and healthy, mostly vegetarian and provided from dinner Friday until lunch Sunday. If there is a particular food or drink that you must have feel free to supply those for yourself and bring with you to the weekends. Bottled and filtered water is available. Please let us know ahead of time if you have any special dietary needs.
Be Sure to Bring
Pack layered, comfortable retreat clothing for walking and hiking, including a warm jacket, sturdy walking shoes, and warm slippers or socks. Please remove your shoes when inside. Bring a small flashlight, bathing suit, an extra towel or two for the hot tub and a favorite pillow if you have one. Also bring a journal, pen and paper, a baby picture, and spiritual object to place on the altar, if you wish. Sheets, towels, quilts, pillows, soap, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner and lotion are provided.
