Upcoming retreats and events
We typically hold two one-day and two weekend retreats per year in the fall and spring, as well as occasional talks and other events. If you have a suggestion for an event, please email us.
Thanks to all who attended our spring 2024 one-day retreat on June 8!
Fall 2024 weekend retreat
The retreat will be held at the Dayspring Silent Retreat Center in Germantown, Maryland, just north of Washington, DC. It will be silent and will include many periods of seated meditation (zazen), short breaks, meals and rest periods. All meals are included in the event cost. Attendance at all zazen periods from 6:00am through 9:30pm is expected.
The facilities include a building with a large room that will be set up as the zendo and separate buildings with living quarters. All rooms are singles. There are separate wings for women and men. Vegetarian meals will be provided by Dayspring staff; retreat participants will help with dining room setup and meal cleanup.
More information will be available as the date approaches.
