October 23 – October 29 at The Abbey in Canon City
with Sarah Bender, Roshi
A Zen retreat is a chance to find space within your life of engagement to turn away for a bit——to enter deep silence and stillness, to drop away from habitual business and join others in looking deep, deep into the nature of this—this very life, moment by moment by moment. It’s not that easy to create the time and make the commitment, but once you do it you discover how much power there is in taking days to really stop, to allow yourself the freedom of deep inquiry. Your whole being will thank you, and so will this world that depends on our willingness to stop running for a bit. The retreat includes periods of sitting and walking meditation, shared silent meals, daily meetings with the teacher, evening talks, and more.
