Services consist of chanting in Sino-Japanese (the Chinese-informed ancient language preserved in the chants), singing or listening to inspirational music, and hearing our Sensei's dharma talk (sermon). Afterwards, we gather in the community room for snacks, tea and conversation. We provide guidance based on Shin Buddhist teachings, which like all Buddhist teachings from all traditions, are very useful in our modern world!

I was in the middle of a divorce at the time and immediately felt lighter after our session. Like I was able to let go of a lot of pain I had been holding onto.

I first met Scott through Chinese Medical school, where he taught Taiji, and soon thereafter began…read morestudying Bagua with him. While most in the Alternative arts and medicine community have incredible hearts and caring personalities, very few have achieved what I would call a high-level of practice, or, "Master" status. It takes a dedicated practice and training with highly qualified teachers (the 2 main factors that are missing in most practitioners'/teachers' backgrounds). Scott has trained intensively (and I'm not talking about a year here or few months there) with the best, and continues to dedicate himself to his practice to this day. Scott's expertise becomes more and more apparent the longer you study with him, as he never shows off his abilities or strains to prove himself. I wish nothing more than for him to get into the ring with one of these "Mixed Martial Arts" fighters, thoroughly kick their ass, and end that nonsense of a sport. Alas, he would never do such a thing. Scott's teaching style is very individualized, meaning everyone gets a lot of attention. He is attuned to the needs and sensitivities of each student, however different they are, and will adjust the lesson accordingly. From young children to older people, he has an enormous range as a teacher and instructor. I am looking forward to when my daughter will be old enough to begin taking kung-fu lessons with him. I recommend reading Scott's reviews for his San Francisco practice as well (don't miss the "filtered" ones), as there are some excellent testimonials of Scott as a teacher.

Where to begin, first of all about me and who I am, I'm 29 years old I've been studying buddhism,…read moremeditation, and body awareness practices steadily since I was about 12. I spent about 4 of those years heavily involved in aikido (w/ Frank Doran-sensei), kenjustsu (kashima shin-ryu) and kyudo (ANKF). More recently I spent about the last 5 years living in China as a full time live-in (gongfu) student of a daoist priest. I have been helping a friend teach some of his classes in the San Francisco area but have so far refrained from making it a personal profession though I have been encouraged to do otherwise. What to say about Scott? Having met various teachers in China, Japan, the US, and even some in South America, I have never met one that held a candle to Scott's mastery of gongfu (kung fu) as a vehicle for self defense, a cultural art form, or a vehicle for spiritual transformation, let alone all of them together or with an understanding of why they all matter and how they relate. I've met a lot of folks who traveled to china to live and train there, sometimes for years. It's really exciting to go to a place where it looks like "just in the movies". The thing about someone like Scott is... he's hard to spot. He doesn't live in a temple. He doesn't wear robes or have a topknot. He doesn't live in China and he's not Chinese. He doesn't even follow certain ritual forms of sounding profound that are standard among such teachers or drop buzzwords. So you typically need to have some background in order to see what he has. If you have a mature appetite for martial arts and want to train with the best, go check him out. If you are just curious and want to see what he's up to or if it's a good fit, he's very approachable and loves to talk about this stuff. If you're looking for cardio-kickboxing or to prove how tough you are to people, you should go somewhere else for that.

It is just as beautiful as i remember it. There are many buildings where you will participate or can participate in various things . There are also several hiking trails available to you to use. There are currently a lot of moose in the area so if you go up and are out on the trails be sure to be on the look out. The day retreat started with some art. (this was okay, I went because my friend is into art. if i had been on my own i would have opted to go hiking instead during this time) After this was a break and then yoga class. Then lunch. They have a homemade vegetarian/vegan lunch. You can request gluten free in advance. Their food is seriously amazing! It is worth the price of the day retreat just to come and enjoy the food! It is so so good! After lunch, you can do an hour of volunteer work in the kitchen. It is the kind thing to do especially since the prices of their retreats are actually pretty afforable. give back. After that you have a couple of hours of free time to go do what you please. There is a pond you could kayak/canoe on. Or bring up your paddleboard. go hiking. Sit in the reading room. Sit on one of the hammocks in the trees. go meditate. so many choices! After that you can come back for an afternoon yoga class, and then dinner! Again so yummy! It is rare to find some place that can make such delicious homemade vegan and gluten free food. After that they do some ceremonial stuff, you can choose to participate in that or not. Highly recommend having a retreat here, it was very relaxing.

Yes that's right, hot spandex and sports bra of your favorite lady helping you stretch out muscles you haven't ever stretched. Yes, it is sexy, but amazingly wonderful for the practice of yoga, intimacy and stretching. There are some retreats where you go to get pampered, but this is not one of them. The cabins are run down, the grounds kept very simple, and the food is vegetarian, but pampering is not part of the theme of the retreat, Shoshoni is more focused on the practice of yoga and meditation. Yogis live up at the retreat and are the people who take care of your classes, your meditations, the cooking, and the serving... It almost starts to feel like camp, where you start pinpointing the ones in your head of who you want to hook up with. You have a couple different options for accommodations. I went all out and got the private cabin, which was only $115 person. I say ONLY because this also included three meals, three yoga classes, two meditations, the use of the retreat grounds, and use of the hot tub and sauna. You can pay less and stay in a same sex dorm, an electricity free cabin, or you can camp it somewhere on the Shoshoni property. Obviously, since I singed up the partner yoga class with my boyfriend, I needed the private cabin. It was his birthday, so I had to go all out. The partner yoga class was an extra $70 and lasted about an hour and half. It was the best part of the retreat. I wanted to give this retreat more stars, but I just can't. The retreat is missing that magical something that would make us want to come back. The yoga classes were too short and not advance enough, and the cabin was really outdated and old. The extra step to offer more choices for classes of different levels, and more one-on-one time with the instructors would definitely improve the score. If you go, make sure to sign up for private yoga classes, and/or massages and facials. * Star one for the steamin' partner yoga ** Sweat it up star two is for the....
