These retreats are offered by donation under the tradition of dana, but a non-refundable $15 registration fee is required in advance in order to cover the cost of the retreat center.

Some past retreats have seen a high number of no-shows on retreat day. Please register only if you are committed to attending.
Should you need to cancel for an unforeseen reason, please let us know. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Daylong retreats are sometimes held in the spring and the fall, typically from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. either at the Passionist Earth & Spirit Center (indoors at "The Barn", located at 1924 Newburg Road) or at Elenore's farm (outdoors). Watch upcoming LVC Newsletters for updates.

Have you thought about signing up for a residential retreat, but were held back by the cost? Retreats are an important support to the practice, but the reality is that they can be costly.
LVC has limited funds available to help support sangha members to participate in retreats, whether these are offered by LVC or other organizations.
If you are planning a residential retreat and are having difficulty covering the registation fee, we may be able to assist with a partial scholarship.
Please send an email to louisville.vipassana@gmail.com with your retreat plans, and needs, for further information.
