Late Summer Silent Retreat

Suitable for beginners with some meditation experience

This silent Zen retreat offers an experience of intimacy with nature, with the other than human world, and ultimately, our own Buddha nature. Like a gardener, how can we cultivate an authentic path of practice? How can the natural world, both the tame and the wild, inform us about the obstacles we face and what is most vital in our heart? What happens to our questions when we listen deeply to the birds, trees, grasses and mountains?

The schedule balances naturalness with our traditional ritual forms. Experiencing the simple natural zendo space and daily rhythm of a working organic farm allows the mind to settle fostering challenge, ease and insight. The modified retreat schedule is suitable for beginners and includes zazen, meditation outdoors, mindful work, rest and reflection periods, dharma talks and sanzen.
