Join us as we head up to the idyllic Mount Baldy Zen Center for four days deep quiet, peaceful practice, and good community. There will be zazen, dharma talks, yoga, opportunity for one on one practice discussions, great food made by the local monks, beautiful scenery, and did we mention the zazen?? There will be just the right amount of plenty of zazen. These retreats are designed to be a perfect balance for practitioners of all levels.
The retreat will go from Friday afternoon into Monday afternoon. The cost is $430 including lodging and all meals. Please consider the option to pay a little more to support the scholarship fund if you are able, as that allows us to invite people of all means to join us.
Scholarships are available for those who can’t afford the full cost (email here for info).
Feel free to email here if you have any other questions.
