Love & Spaciousness: A Loving Kindness Weekend Retreat
October 30 - November 2, 2025
Thursday 5 pm - Sunday, 1 pm
With wonderment on our side, and in relationship with all that is, we recognize the inherent compassion that naturally arises from deep and sustained presence. Held in a container of zen forms and the vibrant dance of a monastery in Autumn, we will explore the nature of being anything at all!
During this silent retreat our day will unfold within the practices of zazen, chanting, formal meals and
a short work practice. Much of the day will be spent in the meditation hall practicing seated and silent meditation together.
Beginners welcome. 🙂
