Our exploration of the ancient roots of creativity will take place at a serene and beautiful zen center nestled in a green coastal valley between Sausalito and Stinson Beach just north of San Francisco. Laced with traditional Japanese rock gardens, and surrounded by hundreds of acres of National Parkland, Green Gulch is a 20-minute walk to the Pacific ocean. The surrounding hills offer miles of trails up and down the coast and into nearby Muir Woods National Monument. Lunch will be served from the famous Green Gulch organic garden. Workshop participants are welcome to join the monastery residents for early morning meditation (optional). The quiet atmosphere of Green Gulch is ideal for both visionary inspiration and creative work.
Free on-site chair massages will be available outside of class time on a first come first served basis.
