Reservations Now Being Taken for Janya Wongsopa's Spectacular Santa Cruz Mountain Silent Retreats   The next will be held Friday - Sunday, 17-19 May   Every event that Janya Wongsopa leads at or for Avalon — her  wonderfully popular All-Level Flow, Restorative, and Yin classes; her beautiful Yoga Nidra and Restorative Workshops; and her closed sessions with Avalon Teacher Training students — is conducted with impeccable elegance and grace.   The highlight of Janya's work at Avalon over the past three years has revolved around the spectacular Yoga & Rejuvenation Retreats she has led for lucky Avalon students each year in her native Thailand. Janya will again hold her Thailand Retreat this year, from 12-23 November (for early details click here and scroll down). Avalon will start booking Reservations in early July.   Before that, Janya will hold a series of four equally wonderful  silent weekend retreats — deep in the Santa Cruz Mountains, but less than an hour's drive from Avalon — at the globally famous Land of Medicine Buddha Retreat Center in Santa Cruz County. The Retreat lies deep in the Redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains, in Santa Cruz County. But by car it is less than an hour from Palo Alto and Avalon. Dates for the three-day Silent Retreats, timed roughly with the seasons:                           Friday, March 29 – Sunday, March 31 Friday, May 17 – Sunday, May 19 Friday, July 5 – Sunday, July 7 Friday, August 23 – Sunday, August 25 Double rooms (along with meals, yoga instruction, etc.) run $500 for each of the four retreats. You can get a private room for $100 extra. Prices include all basic accommodations — rooms, all meals, all yoga instruction, etc. If you register for all four retreats at once you'll receive a $120 discount. A wide range of optional services (e.g., in massage) are  directly available from the Center. The Registration Deadline for the March 29 - March 31 Retreat is coming up fast — on March 15th!
