Let us know if you would like to attend the pre-module pod on Thursday 10am - 1pm at Expanding Light.

Pre-module pods are first for out of town students (not in Bay Area). If there is extra room, we will allow other students to attend. With sufficient interest, we will offer more than one pod if possible. Pods are $100. Details provided closer to module.

Lodging includes 3 Nights and 9 Meals from Thursday Dinner to Sunday Lunch.  Commuters are also welcome to stay off-site and only purchase the meal plan.

Extra lodging and meals are available a la carte for those flying in and wanting to come early on Wednesday or leave late on Monday. 

Room options at Expanding Light are diverse and range in price from $295 for camping (with nearby bathhouses) to over $650 for a few private rooms. Most rooms include two twin beds and are between $336 and $502 and have either shared bathrooms or access to bathhouses. Room choice is first-come, first-serve and the rooms will be released in waves to make sure we can match gender and roommate preferences. Commuting is possible for $222.

Please arrive at Expanding Light on Thursday between 12:30pm - 1:30pm to get settled in (or by 10:00am if you sign up for the out-of-town pod).  Module officially begins Thursday at 2:00pm and ends Sunday at approximately 6:00pm (before dinner). You can check into your room anytime on Thursday and check out is at 9:00am (either Sunday or Monday morning - pack up before breakfast!). There are safe places to store luggage when you first arrive or on day of departure (or you may leave it in your vehicle).

 If you are not attending this Module you can leave the remaining questions in this section blank. 

Expanding Light offers strictly vegetarian meals. The lodging price includes 9 Meals from Thursday Dinner - Sunday Lunch. The chefs will offer gluten-free and dairy-free options and will do their best to accommodate other requests. If you have particularly limited needs, we suggest you bring supplemental food.

Please note: Food and Lodging are a combined cost based on a per-module stay and cannot be separated, although you can add additional meals. Expanding Light does not allow our students to bring and prepare their own food. Thus, meal costs still apply for those who have dietary restrictions that prohibit eating at the retreat center. Opting out of certain meals does not reduce your total Food & Lodging costs. While there is no setup for cooking, there is some space in an onsite refrigerator to store supplemental food.

If you are commuting to the center, you will still need to purchase meals (and facility access) for $222 for the 9 meals during the retreat.

Anyone can pay a la carte for any additional meals before or after the Module. 

We will invite you to confirm your dietary preferences before every module.

We will send you the link to select and pay for your specific desired lodging
and extra nights or meals soon!
