ReTreat from the Holidays – 2027 Reno Daylong with Kathy Schwerin and Denise Barclay – Saturday, January 9, 2027

Join us in Reno for this popular annual daylong meditation retreat with beloved local teachers Kathy Schwerin and Denise Barclay! We’ll see what is particularly lighting up our teachers after a tumultuous fall.

You can expect a quiet day punctuated with simple movement, meditation instructions, reflections, and time for sharing. Thich Nhat Hanh said a retreat is not a withdrawal from life but a treat we offer to ourselves and the world. This retreat is a Treat for new and experienced meditators.

Teachers: Kathy and Denise are long-time practitioners and teachers, as well as good friends. You may find their full bios here.

Cost: This retreat is offered freely without charge, and dana (the Pali word for generosity or donation) is greatly appreciated. Your generosity helps pay rent for this lovely space, supports the teachers and opens your heart!

What to Bring: Prepare for comfort indoors and outdoors with warm layered clothing. 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, and you may want to bring a seat cushion to use with them.

Registration: No formal registration is required, however, if you plan to attend please RSVP Tom at eltigre@charter.net so we may know how many people to expect.
