One-Day Meditation Retreat
October 17, 2026 | 8am-4pm MT

Please join us for a one-day meditation retreat oriented toward those just beginning or newer to Zen practice, though open to all. This retreat is now offered both in-person and online.

The program will include Zazen instruction, Zendo forms + movement instruction, Zen principles and history, shorter meditation periods, work practice, and group sharing, with additional instruction and Q&A for those online.

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

Full-day attendance is encouraged given the nature of the instruction. Part-time attendance is available for Eon Zen members.

Please register at least 2 days before the retreat or earlier. Registration is open through Thursday, October 16th.

This retreat is offered at a reduced rate to ensure it is accessible for all. As a guideline for those with the means, we suggest the following to attend:

Full Day Participation:

• Eon Zen Members: $30 in-person

• Non- Members: $40 in-person

Part Day Participation - Eon Zen Members: 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.
