Quarterly Service Retreats

Our students get away once a quarter on weekend retreats that include worship, reflection, service projects, and fun! We gather with other students from UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, San Francisco State, and Stanford - making this a great opportunity to make friends and network.

Generally we start on a Saturday morning at about 9 am by engaging in a service project. Often these projects are done in partnership with cutting-edge charitable organizations that help us to broaden our horizons as to the opportunities for service and social justice engagement in our world. After we break for lunch and complete our service, we generally have free time to explore, study, or sleep, and then we gather for dinner and an evening spiritual service. We sleep over wherever we are, and in the morning have breakfast, attend Sunday worship, and return home. This is a simple and wonderful way to make friends and gain insights for your spiritual path.
