Most People Have No Idea This Beautiful Monastery In Southern California Exists
While we love all the modern amenities of our lives, sometimes the constant barrage of news, traffic jams, and demands of careers and family can all take their toll. When you need to find a quiet place to relax and reconnect with nature, head to Deer Park Monastery in Escondido.
Welcome to Deer Park Monastery! This beautiful place is tucked away in the hills of Escondido, and it's the perfect place to visit when you need to recharge and reconnect with nature.
The 400-acre sanctuary was established in 2000, and it's become a favorite place for many Southern Californians to visit for the day or for a longer retreat.
Each morning, you'll be awakened by the Wake Up Bell, then you'll practice meditation in different ways throughout the day. Meals are enjoyed in silence, and you'll have three scheduled Dharma talks and discussions as well.
A retreat is the perfect way to really relax and remove yourself from everyday stress and pressures.
If you'd like to participate in this community in other ways, you might consider offering your service here, or providing financial support, either by purchasing books and other items from the nuns and monks, or by offering donations.
