Treat yourself to a day of meditation!  Experience and enjoy the benefits of Chan (Chinese Zen) practice over the course of a day.  Refresh, apply, and deepen your Chan practice and be mindful while eating, sitting, walking, working, exercising and performing all other daily activities.
 
This simple and relaxed program helps you settle your mind while allowing you to maintain a constant silent awareness of your every activity.  Most people find that by regularly attending our one-day retreats, they renew and improve the strength of their daily practices at home.
