Why Marin County
Across the bridge, into the quiet.
Marin starts at the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge. Within an hour you can be in the redwoods at Muir Woods, on top of Mt. Tamalpais or out on the bluffs of Point Reyes.
It is also home to some of the West's best-known places for stillness. Spirit Rock and Green Gulch Farm have been teaching meditation for decades, and both can host groups.
The stays range from a restored Army post at Fort Baker to small inns on Tomales Bay. Pick the one that matches your group, then build the days outward from there.
We bring teams to Marin when they want deep quiet without a long trip.

When is the best time for a retreat in Marin?
April to June brings green hills and wildflowers, and September and October are usually the warmest, clearest weeks on the coast. Summer can be foggy near the water.
What size groups fit in Marin?
Cavallo Point handles groups into the hundreds. Lodge at Marconi and Olema House suit 15 to 90, and Green Gulch and Mountain Home Inn are best for small leadership teams.
What can a team do in Marin?
Hike Muir Woods and Mt. Tamalpais, cook together at Cavallo Point, eat oysters on Tomales Bay, and sit with a teacher at Spirit Rock or Green Gulch. It is easy to mix strategy work with a lot of time outside.
Who plans and runs the retreat?
The Renewal Office designs it around your goals using the TRO Six Pillars, then handles venue, programming, facilitators and production from the first call to the week after.
