Love & Spaciousness: A Loving Kindness Weekend Retreat
With Amy Kisei, Sensei and Myoyu Haley Voekel
May 24 - 26, 2024
With wonderment on our side, and in relationship with all that is, we recognize the inherent compassion that naturally arises from deep and sustained presence. Held in a container of zen forms and the vibrant dance of a monastery waking up to spring, we will explore the nature of being anything at all!
During this silent retreat our day will unfold within the practices of zazen, chanting, formal meals and
a short work practice. Much of the day will be spent in the meditation hall practicing seated meditation together.
Beginners welcome. 🙂
