Shamatha/Jhana Meditation Retreats

This summer, I would like to attend a shamatha meditation retreat (as the title probably suggests), but thus far it has been exceedingly difficult to find one through my searches on the Internet. So, I was wondering if anybody who is more knows any practice centers or links to find centers that are hosting such retreats between June and early August in the United States or Canada.

Thanks,
Eric
