Going on retreat is an essential tool for deepening one's practice - especially meditaiton. We have been lucky to practice at some of these centers, and heard good things about others.

Wat Suan Mokkh: This idyllic retreat center in Thailand offers amazing 10-day vipassana retreats in English on the first 10 days of every month. The cost is just $50! Wonderful Thai vegetarian meals, yoga every morning, and natural hot springs to soothe your muscles after sitting. Bring a camping pad and pillow - the beds are concrete slabs!
Zen Mountain Monastery: A vital, uniquely American branch of the Zen tradition, features art and body/movement practice alongside the classic Zen rituals. Highly recommended for those with a Zen inclination.
