Starcross Activist Retreat

At Starcross Monastic Community, we believe that sustaining the work of social change requires caring for ourselves as well as others. The Starcross Activist Retreat offers activists, organizers, and community leaders a space to pause, reflect, and recharge.  

Located in remote Sonoma County, this retreat provides an opportunity to step away from daily responsibilities and focus on personal well-being. Participants will enjoy shared meals, forest walks, and quiet reflection, with a loosely scheduled and optional selection of activities like meditation and farm-to-table meal preparation. 

• Stay in a private room at our farmhouse alongside fellow activists
• Participate in optional activities like meditation, nature hikes, and farm-to-table meal preparation
• Engage in personal reflection through journaling, quiet walks, or simply resting in a peaceful environment

• Starcross provides plenty of opportunities to reconnect with nature among our olive groves, redwood forest, and garden. 
• Guests can also enjoy access to our swimming pool. 
• Wifi is available. 
• Our chapel is open for meditation and private reflection. 

 "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare."
