Guests can visit Birken in several ways:

• Day Visits
• Overnight Stays (spanning one or more nights, requiring accommodations), for personal, self-directed meditation retreats.
• formal Scheduled Retreats

For Overnight Stays and Scheduled Retreats, we require you to apply for booking.

Please check the Scheduled Retreats and the Room Vacancies pages before submitting a regstration form for a personal retreat, and do not request a personal retreat during Scheduled retreats, or times when there are no vacancies..

Please note that there are no weekend retreats scheduled for 2009, so please do not e-mail the office to ask about beginner retreats.
