Santa Sabina Center, San Rafael, CA

Welcome to Santa Sabina Center

The Center and our staff are dedicated to providing sacred space in a beautiful environment for groups and individuals to experience contemplative ways of being. We offer our own retreats; provide time and space for private retreatants; and host groups of other faith traditions that are themselves programs compatible with our mission.

Grounded in the Dominican monastic heritage and aware of the primary revelation of the divine in the natural world, the Center provides a space of beauty, simplicity and silence for people of all faiths to enter more deeply into spiritual practice.

Santa Sabina hosts groups of other spiritual traditions and practices that are seeking a contemplative environment. Groups of 45 residents or more may have access to all of the facilities. Groups with fewer than 45 may co-share the Center as occasion provides. Any co-share arrangements are made with care and consultation to assure that the groups are compatible and that their respective objectives are well-served.

Our kitchen serves groups of 25 or larger in our own dining hall. If our kitchen is not open on the days you are here, or your group is smaller than 25,  options for meals off-site are available.
