Equinox Gurukula Sabbatical — Application

Sabbatical Screening Application

Sabbatical Guidelines

This is an entirely vegan event. All meals will be prepared with fresh, organic, plant-based ingredients, and we will share them together in mindfulness. You are welcome to bring your own food, but we kindly ask that only plant-based food be brought into the space.

This is a space of heightened awareness, where many participants are sensitive to noise and the quality of the environment. Throughout the weekend, we will cultivate an atmosphere of stillness, spaciousness, and respect for silence.

  • Eating together in mindful silence, fully present with the meal
  • Minimizing talking outside of designated conversation times
  • No phone conversations and minimal phone use during the retreat
  • Holding a field of presence with gentle, respectful awareness of others
