Retreats: Schedules: Retreats with Toni Packer
Retreats with Toni Packer
All of the retreat talks, including the opening talk, are played on tape.
Toni meets with a small dialogue group for an hour each evening. Participants have 10 minutes of one-on-one dialogue with Toni. You can attend these meetings at least once during the retreat.
A large dialogue group meets every afternoon of retreat. Toni is not present, but other teachers participate. You can attend daily.
You can sign up to meet privately with a teacher (other than Toni) during Toni's retreats.
Due to the variability of her health, Toni's participation in her retreats is limited and cannot be guaranteed. Please be prepared for any delays or last-minute changes. Retreat events will still be held with any necessary changes. Please bear this in mind when applying for retreat.
All of the scheduled retreat activities (other than one's assigned job) are optional.
