ReTreat from the Holidays 2023 in Reno

Offer yourself a day of silence!
Return to your body, relax, and breathe after the busy-ness of the holidays.

We will offer techniques to use throughout the day (and the coming year) to center, calm and ground yourself. The day will be in silence except for instructions in sitting and walking meditation, a dharma talk, and a question and answer period with the teachers.

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 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.

To register and for questions, contact Tom Gray, the retreat manager at: tom@dharmazephyr.org
