Deer Park Monastery
Escondido, California
Deer Park Monastery is hosting a BIPOC Mindfulness Retreat as an expression of our continuing commitment to creating a nourishing, healing, and empowering space for members of our spiritual family who self-identify as BIPOC.
We understand that BIPOC people face specific issues due to their racial/ethnic identities and that cultivating affinity spaces is a necessary step and offers a beautiful opportunity for nourishment and healing, rest and restoration, and the cultivation of clarity and joy.
BIPOC practitioners, new or more experienced, are welcome to join us at Deer Park Monastery on May 15-17, 2026 for a dedicated BIPOC Weekend. Deer Park is home to about 66 monastics, the majority of whom are BIPOC of Vietnamese descent.
During this retreat, our time together will focus on firmly rooting ourselves in the practice of self-care as self-love; building kinship with each other; celebrating our diverse historical roots and spiritual ancestors; and embracing the Dharma as a foundation for our stability, liberation, and “love in action.”
