Five-day retreat (“Gentle Prairyerth Zen” – Come and sit in meditation when you can. Leave when you must.) The retreat begins Tuesday evening at 6:30 pm with special chanting, Temple Rules and a 30 minute sitting. Wednesday – Saturday starting at 7:00 am, Rebecca will be doing prostrations and chanting meditation in the morning and then sitting meditation and walking meditation throughout the day. Please join her as your schedule permits. You may sit all day, every day or come just for 30 minutes for 1 day. The retreat is informal, but mostly silent. If you are coming over the lunch hour, bring a sack lunch with you. Each day ends at 5:00 pm with Kwan Seum Bosal chanting. Registration is not required and there is no fee, although donations are appreciated in person or online.
