Organized by members of the YJA First Convention Committee (1993-1994), our Jain Retreat at Luvin Arms offers a sanctuary experience for Jain individuals seeking a harmonious blend of spirituality and compassion. Nestled within the sanctuary’s peaceful surroundings, this retreat immerses participants in the Jain principle of non-violence. Participants will experience life at the sanctuary, animal care, service work, vegan cooking classes, art, game shows, scavenger hunts, and more! The Jain Retreat at Luvin Arms invites individuals to embrace a journey of self-discovery, foster a deep connection with all living beings, and find solace in the sanctuary’s compassionate ethos.
For the High School and College retreats, overnight accommodations and transportation are included in your registration. For the Young Professional retreat, Luvin Arms will be reserving hotel rooms at double occupancy that attendees will need to pay for upon check in. No transportation is provided for the Young Professionals retreat. For the Family Camp, no overnight accommodations or transportation is booked or provided.
For the High School, College, and Young Professional Retreats, we ask that all attendees eat the breakfast provided at the host hotel. For ALL retreats: lunch, dinner and snacks are included in the cost of registration. All meals and snacks provided by the retreat will be plant-based/vegan.
