Spirit Rock Meditation Center
Spirit Rock Meditation Center, commonly called Spirit Rock, is a meditation center in Woodacre, CA. It focuses on the teachings of the Buddha as presented in the vipassana, or Insight Meditation, tradition.〔Van Biema, David, "Buddhism in America," Time Magazine, October 13, 1997〕 It was founded in 1987 as Insight Meditation West,〔Lattin, Don, "Shangri-la In Marin," San Francisco Chronicle, January 30, 1991, B3〕 and is visited by an estimated 40,000 people a year. The ''San Francisco Chronicle'' has called it one of "the Bay Area's best- known centers for Buddhist meditation."
== History ==
In 1975 the Insight Meditation Society (IMS) was founded in Barre, MA by a group of Western meditation teachers trained in Asia,〔Otaganonta, Wipawee,"Taking the high road back home," Bangkok Post, March 31, 1993〕 including Jack Kornfield, Joseph Goldstein and Sharon Salzberg.〔Thompson, Keith,"Spirit Rock," Pacific Sun, October 7–13, 1998, p 13-15〕 In 1986, after ten years at IMS, Kornfield moved to Northern California with his family〔 and began hosting a Monday night meditation class in a private home in San Anselmo.〔 Eventually the class expanded to a clinic and then to a local church.〔Hamburg,Laura, "The Dharma Bums Grow Up," San Francisco Chronicle, March 3, 2000〕 In 1987 a group of meditation teachers in the San Francisco Bay Area incorporated as Insight Meditation West, for the purpose of acquiring land and establishing a west coast Insight Meditation center.〔 The group included Kornfield, James Baraz, Sylvia Boorstein, Anna Douglas and Howard Cohn.〔
In 1988, with funds from an anonymous donation,〔 412 acres of undeveloped land in the San Geronimo Valley, an hour north of San Francisco, was purchased from The Nature Conservancy〔Cohen, Ronnie, "View from the Dharma Seat," Pacific Sun, November 28 – December 4, 2008, p 13 -15〕 in order to start a permanent meditation center, and the name Spirit Rock Meditation Center was formally adopted. In 1990 temporary construction trailers were erected to house the community meditation hall, administrative offices and caretaker residences. Construction for permanent replacement facilities is planned to begin in 2014.〔
The residential retreat center opened in July 1998.〔 The majority of the center’s land is protected by an open space easement and kept in conservation.
