One Day retreats are a great opportunity to enjoy deep meditation and to experience support for our practice. The day includes sitting and walking meditation, a dharma talk, and a time for questions. There will be a break-out session for beginners to help establish their practice. The day will be held in silence—those who wish complete silence will have the ability to do so. Held in a beautiful wooded spiritual center 2 miles North of Chelsea. Link to directions
