One-Day Meditation Retreat for Newer Practitioners

April 20, 2024 | 8am-4pm MT

Please join us for an in-person, all-day meditation retreat oriented toward those just beginning or newer to Zen practice. This retreat will include Zazen instruction, Zendo forms + movement instruction, Zen principles and history, shorter meditation periods, work practice, group sharing and more.

We will gather and practice together at the beautiful Willow Farm Contemplative Center in Hygiene, CO. Everyone is welcome.

This retreat will be in-person only due to the nature of the space and instruction provided. (If you are remote and cannot attend in person, please write us at staff@eonzen.org)

As a guideline for those with the means, we suggest the following for this retreat:

Full Day Participation:

  • Eon Zen Members: $30 in-person

  • Non- Members: $40 in-person

Part Day Participation: 50% of Full Day

We are committed to making Zen practice available to all regardless of financial situation. If finances are a hardship, a Dana Registration is also available (pay what you can). Please write to us at staff@eonzen.org to inquire. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

We look forward to practicing together.
