SUMMARY

We will begin on Friday, November 3rd at 5:30pm. We will have shuttles scheduled to pick people up from the Missoula airport, and we kindly ask that you plan your flights to arrive at least two hours before programming begins so we can transport you from the airport to the Bodhi House before 5:30pm on Friday.

The retreat programming will conclude on Monday night, November 6th, leaving the entire day of Tuesday, November 7th, for travel. We encourage everyone to sleep at the Bodhi House on Monday evening and to plan your travel for sometime on Tuesday, preferably late morning onward if possible. We will have one shuttle scheduled on Tuesday morning to transport people from Hot Springs to the Missoula airport.

For those who would like to stay the extra days for silent practice/retreat, we will drop into a container of Noble Silence after breakfast on Tuesday morning, November 7th, and hold the container until Wednesday evening, November 8th for two full days of practice. We will have one shuttle scheduled on Thursday morning to transport people from Hot Springs to the Missoula airport.
