Nondual Spiritual Weekend Retreat with Don Oakley

"Discover Your Inner Peace"

a Weekend Retreat of Exploration

with Don Oakley & Patty Bottari

October 10 - 12, 2025

Retreat Overview

"We are all familiar with that sense of peace when everything is to our liking. But is there also a peace that’s not subject to life’s inevitable ups and downs—a peace that surpasses our human understanding of how things work. So, how can we experience such abiding peace in this and every moment?"

Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat is for anyone with a sincere interest in discovering what this life is truly about and who, or what, is living it.

The retreat is non-denominational, but Don will draw on useful pointers from all major wisdom traditions.

No previous meditation experience or spiritual practice is required, although the program will offer value to practitioners with all levels of experience.

About Your Facilitators

The retreat will be led by Don Oakley and Patty Bottari, who are Directors and on-site managers of Well Being Retreat Center, which they have created over the last 16 years.

Don is a nondual spiritual teacher and studied intensively with Eckhart Tolle and Adyashanti. He serves as a Director of Adyashanti’s Open Gate Sangha and has three highly rated books about spiritual awakening available on Amazon.

Patty has worked for and traveled with both Byron Katie and Adyashanti.

What You Can Expect

Don will speak during periods of guided meditations, discourses, and dialogue sessions.
Patty will lead the silent sitting (meditation) periods.
All the sessions are voluntary, of course, but we ask that you remain engaged and present for the duration of the retreat.

Meals

Well Being will provide 2 meals: supper on Friday evening upon arrival and lunch on Sunday to end the retreat.

Meals will be freshly prepared using mostly organic, gluten-free ingredients. Non-vegetarian meals will be served with a vegetarian option available at each meal.

Coffee, tea, and snacks will also be provided throughout the retreat.

Please plan to bring and prepare food for your other meals. All cabins have kitchenettes. Those staying in cabinettes will have access to the Conference Building's kitchen.

Lodging Options:

We offer a variety of simple and comfortable accommodations designed to support your retreat experience.

Shared Cabins

Guests attending alone will be paired with a same-gender roommate in a shared cabin, unless a private cabinette is selected.
Guests attending with a friend or partner who wish to room together will be assigned housing in one of our tiny house or earth shelter cabins.
Shared cabins include an apartment-sized refrigerator, a two-burner electric cooktop, and basic kitchen utensils. Tiny house cabins are equipped with a microwave, while earth shelter cabins feature a toaster oven.

Private Cabinettes

For those seeking a private space, our cabinettes offer single-occupancy lodging. Each cabinette includes a small personal-sized refrigerator, a fan, a space heater (if needed), and a ventilation fan.
Bathroom and shower facilities for cabinettes are located a short walk away inside the Conference Building, which is open 24/7.
Cabinettes do not have in-room kitchens, but guests staying in them will have access to the Conference Building refrigerator.
