Take Highway 101 North to Cotati. Take the Highway 116 West exit, turning left at the bottom of the offramp. Go 8 miles into Sebastopol. Turn left at the second stoplight onto Highway 12/Bodega Highway.*

* Sebastopol Intersection: This is the intersection where Highway 12/Bodega Highway crosses Highway 116. Go 6 miles west on Highway 12/Bodega Highway and turn right onto Bohemian Highway toward Freestone and Occidental. Go a little over 4 miles. Turn left on Market St., just past the big Camp Meeker sign. Turn right on Tower Road and head up the hill. From here on, you will find small directional markers on a tree or post with St. Dorothy's Rest logo (a green cloverleaf) pointing the way. Turn right on Tan Oak Avenue, following it to the end. Turn left on St. Dorothy's Ave. Drive through the arch to St. Dorothy's and park - you're there! Go to the Main Lodge, which is at the bottom of the driveway to the right and enter through the foyer.

For those of you who are flying in:

We suggest that you come into either the Oakland or San Francisco Airports.
Allow 2 hours driving time from SF or the East Bay.

Please make your return flight for the evening of the last day of retreat to ensure plenty of time to catch your return flight. Our sesshins do not close until 2:00pm of the last day.
