Weekend Retreat

Our semi-annual spring retreat will take place at Higher Ground, in Bend, Oregon, from the evening of April 13 through April 14, 2018. This is an interfaith retreat, co-sponsored by Bend Zen, Open Sky Hermitage and Higher Ground, and led by Leonard Marcel of Seven Thunders, Portland. This silent retreat consists of sitting meditation, walking meditation, two talks (one inspired by the Eastern, the other by the Western traditions), interviews with the teacher, a short work period and a potluck lunch.

The recommended donation is $50; some scholarships are available. At present it’s sold out, but there is a waiting list; if interested, contact Denise, dsfainberg@yahoo.com.
