Will you have accommodations for small children?
A limited number of rooms will be available for women with babies and young children. However due to the intensive nature of the retreat, those intending to bring a baby or young child must also bring a family member or other care provider who will provide childcare during the day and for some evening hours. This will allow the retreatant to fully participate in the learning experience. Pre-crawling infants and their mothers may come and go with sensitivity to the needs of the larger group. Contact the UCSD Center for Mindfulness at mindfulness@ucsd.edu to inquire about making arrangements to attend with your small child.
