Beginner’s Mind Weekend Meditation Retreat

July 7 - 9, 2023

Friday 5:00 pm to Sunday 1:00 pm

This retreat is Full.

 

The teachings and practices of Zen Buddhism empower us to live our lives wholeheartedly with openness, insight and compassion.

During this weekend retreat we follow a silent retreat schedule, which allows us to temporarily put aside outside concerns and go deeply into inner work.

The silent retreat schedule includes about seven hours of sitting meditation (with breaks), Buddhist chanting services, formal oriyoki meals, and a period of community work practice.

On the first evening the retreat leaders will give thorough instruction on the foundations and methods of Zen meditation.

Opportunities to meet with a teacher or senior practitioner to discuss your practice will be available.

This retreat is ideal for anyone wanting an introduction to intensive Zen practice or simply a day of silent sitting meditation supported by the serene atmosphere of the monastery.

A $50 deposit holds your space – balance is due on arrival.

 

We are currently asking that guests take a rapid covid test before departing for the monastery on the day of the event. Thank you!

 

Leader:
Senior Lay Practitioner and/or Ordained Priest
