YMAA Retreat Center

Visit and Train at the Retreat Center

All YMAA students and visitors are welcome to the Retreat Center. So, if you want to learn with Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming you have two options:

• Annual Summer Seminars with Dr. Yang during July and August of each year (see pricing, travel arrangements details and even register online) and/or;
• Train with the disciples of the Retreat Center during each training semester under the supervision of Dr. Yang.

The Center is a 240-acre training area located in the natural mountain terrain of Humboldt County, Northern California, which includes off-the-grid solar power, pristine spring water, organic farming and several training facilities and buildings. It's an ideal setting to escape the stress of modern society and immerse yourself in training and study.
