Big Bear Retreat Center is an inclusive and accessible place for respite, healing, transformation, cross-cultural dialogue, collaboration, hope, and joy. We do this by offering a mix of silent Insight Meditation retreats, and by partnering with organizations supporting various communities including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, first responders and veterans, and mindfulness communities. Big Bear Retreat Center is a retreat center located in the forested mountains of Southern California (2.5 hour drive from Los Angeles) on about 100 acres of forested land and connected to the national forest, giving us plenty of space for hiking trails, peace, and serenity. It's a wonderful place for all forms of practice - a space to RECONNECT, RECHARGE, and REST. With an emphasis on inclusion and accessibility, provides a refuge for people of all faiths and walks of life.
