Love & Spaciousness: A Loving Kindness Weekend Retreat

Set within the quiet beauty of a monastery as spring begins to awaken, this retreat offers a spacious environment for deep presence, reflection, and kindness. In a setting shaped by zen forms and a sense of shared wonder, participants are invited to explore the nature of being, while allowing compassion to arise naturally through sustained mindfulness and stillness.

This silent retreat follows a steady rhythm of zazen, chanting, formal meals, and a short work practice. Much of each day will be spent in the meditation hall, sitting together in seated meditation and moving gently through the retreat schedule. The emphasis is on simplicity, silence, and direct experience, creating a supportive container for inner awareness and heartfelt connection.

It is an opportunity to step away from daily distractions and enter a more open, attentive way of being.
