Suzuki Roshi, a Japanese Zen teacher, wrote a book on Zen called Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind. He wrote, “The goal of practice is always to keep our beginner’s mind.” Whether you have had a meditation practice for a long time, or have never meditated at all, you are welcome at this retreat, since every moment is a new moment and in that way we are all beginners.

In this gentle, silent two-hour retreat, Rev. Florence (who is also a Zen teacher)  will introduce sitting and walking Zen meditation and various ways of appreciating your life as it is. Plus – bonus – you’ll be unplugging from your phone for a couple of hours!! If you have sitting cushions you can bring them, otherwise chairs are available.

Please sign up ahead of time so we know how to set up the room.
