Tucker is teaching a kinda-last-minute meditation retreat outside of Lisbon. You should really come. You can read more about Tucker’s style of retreats over here.
When and Where Is It?
Tuesday 21 October at 5PM, til Sunday 26 October at 2PM at Fools’ Valley, 30 minutes outside of Lisbon. But if you need more meditation time, you’re actually invited to come earlier or later! You can arrange extended stays by contacting Fools’ Valley.
There’s a Sauna, Right?
Yes, and a pond to swim in!
Cool. Is It Expensive?
No, actually, Fools Valley has offered us super low rates. It’s €225 for the whole retreat if you bring your own tent. If you’d like to rent a sleeping space, that’s super cheap, too, and it includes bedding. Below are all the places you can rent, with the total (not nightly) prices. You can read more about the rental facilities over here (note that some places listed on their website aren’t available for our retreat, and that if one of these options is missing from the registration form, then it’s already sold out). The dorms are coed.
- Your own tent €0
- Private tipi €15
- Dorm single bed €40
- Dorm double bed €50
- Studio €175
- M-curve €210
- Chafariz or M-big suite €270
Wow Neat! Are There Any Other Expenses You’re Not Telling Me About?
Well the fees only cover the retreat centre. You pay Tucker through the Buddhist tradition of Dana, which is a donation you make after the retreat ends.
That’s a Very Reasonable Cost, But I Can’t Afford It.
You can apply for a scholarship of up to USD300 from the Open Dharma Foundation if you need money to attend. Please do this ASAP!
Great, How Do I Sign Up?
There are TWO STEPS to sign up: fill out this brief form, and then send payment. Please make sure you do both steps (like, don’t do one of them and then get tired and stop!).
What Do I Do If I Have Questions?
If they’re about the retreat facility (food, room types, etc.) then contact Fools’ Valley. If it’s about the retreat itself, then contact Tucker.
