ReTreat from the Holidays – 2025 Reno Daylong
January 4, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 3:30 pm
Offer yourself a day of silence!
Return to your body, relax, and breathe after the busy-ness of the holidays.
Finding Refuge in Turbulent Times
Life can be difficult, and we all seek refuge from the confusion and pain we may experience. How do we find wise refuge that will nurture and refresh us, helping us to skillfully deal with our lives and our communities? Join Denise and Kathy for a day of refuge and reflection as we practice meditation and movement together to help us ground and connect.
Prepare for comfort with layered clothing for outdoor walking meditations. Bring a sack lunch for a relaxed and silent meal, and your cushion or bench if you wish to sit on the floor. Chairs are provided (but do bring your own if you have one you especially like). Especially suited for new meditators. And a great tune-up and quiet day for experienced meditators.
This is a Dharma Zephyr Insight Meditation Community event. As such, there is no charge. Your generosity provides a donation to The River School Farm for the space and support for the teachers.
Kathy Schwerin and Denise Barclay will co-lead this mindfulness, movement and meditation day. Kathy and Denise are long-time practitioners and teachers, as well as friends. For full bios go to dharmazephyr.org/about/who-we-are.
To help us with planning, please let us know you are coming.
