Top Ten Reasons... to register without delay!

 

Travel & Lodging

So, all you need to worry about is getting yourself to the retreat site!

 

Air Travel

As can be seen in the schematic map of the Bay Area below, the San Francisco (SFO) and Oakland (OAK) airports are nearest to the retreat center.  According to online mapping programs the driving time between the retreat center and both airports is about 50 minutes.

As we get closer to the date of the retreat, we intend to provide a rideshare/carpooling tool to connect people who are flying in with one another in order to split the costs of renting a car. 

In the end, it may be more cost effective for travellers to split a taxi.  The Retreat Center recommends several taxi services at the bottom of its directions page.

The retreat center website has turn-by-turn driving directions from common departure points, such as San Francisco.  If you prefer to get your own directions using MapQuest or Google Maps, use the address below:

Important Tip: If you are coming from the bay area, you can only access
the IONS road from 101 South, not 101 North.  So you have to go up above
IONS and head south on 101 to access the IONS road.
