About the Event

Give yourself to the cushion and practice a day of silence, freedom, and ease. The One Day Meditation Retreat is a silent retreat. It allows participants an extended time devoted to the calming practices of meditation, including 30-minute sitting meditation periods, interspersed with walking meditation and moving exercises. Dharma talks will also be used to clarify key points about Chan practice and meditation, as well as allow us to raise questions regarding our practice.

Vegetarian lunch will be provided.

To participate in the One Day Meditation Retreat, it's recommended that participants have prior meditation experience, such as an introductory meditation class.

Fee: $60. Additional donations would be appreciated.
