MEDITATION RETREATS
Throughout the year we offer week-long silent meditation retreats lead by Soryu Forall, our head teacher. Each retreat is a precious opportunity to deepen your practice, hone your concentration, bring forth clarity, and immerse yourself in the essence of life. These retreats are rigorous and often transformational–not for the faint of heart. Check out the schedule for a taste of a day in retreat.
Our retreats take place each month from November through May. In February we offer an annual two-week retreat. During the summer months, we offer retreats that focus on cultivating interpersonal practices.
CIRCLING RETREATS
Several times per year we offer circling retreats along with other practice to cultivate practice in relationship. These retreats provide a crucial balance to the skills grown through meditation both on and off the cushion, and support us in bringing our practice into each interaction in our lives.
We generally host circling retreats during the summer months (as well as over the New Year). We don’t yet have dates for our 2020 circling retreats, but stay tuned.
