Compassion Project Retreat

November 12 – 16, 2025

Past participants of the 3 Doors Compassion Project are warmly invited to join this multi-day in-person retreat with Marcy Vaughn and Gabriel Rocco!

Join Gabriel and Marcy for this unique opportunity to gather in person with fellow members of the Compassion Project community. In this 4.5-day retreat, we will enrich our lives with the 3 Doors practices and the good company of one another.

This retreat will include formal practice sessions as well as opportunities for walks on the beautiful Pendle Hill campus and times to spend in reflection and journal writing.

About Pendle Hill

Located just outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Pendle Hill is a Quaker retreat and conference center that welcomes all kinds of spirit-led groups and communities. It features 24 acres of trees, trails, ponds, and gardens, and delicious homemade meals made with local and organic ingredients. It’s easy to get to – only a 20 minute drive from the Philadelphia International Airport and less than a mile walk from the nearby train station.

Being in retreat together is a wonderful opportunity to continue to deepen and explore our meditation practice and our lives. We will be supported by the beautiful grounds at Pendle Hill and the atmosphere of peace and service that has been fostered there for many years. 

Space is limited, we encourage you to register early.
