The Sundo Retreat center has a variety of buildings for lodging. There is a women-only mobile home which has a bathroom, kitchen, heat and a large one-room dorm space. Our meditation hall serves as a men's dorm at night with shelves that serve as storage space for bedding during the day. Additionally there are bathrooms/showers and cots available in the main building. Tenting sites are also available. Guests must bring their own towels, sheets, blankets and pillows if possible. If traveling light, please contact us to secure bedding, mats or tents and sleeping bags.
It is recommended to bring waterproof boots, extra socks, snow pants (in winter), a flashlight or headlamp, waterproof jacket or poncho, towels and toiletries. Meditation cushions are not required, but welcome if you'd like to bring one. For swimming in the nearby brook during warmer months, be sure to bring your bathing suit.
The retreat experience is one where we are a community and the price of the retreat reflects that there is a communal aspect to things. For example while the food is provided we ask each attendee to help out in preparing one of the meals. In addition, we ask that guests help with general cleaning of their sleeping space on the last day of the retreat.
