New Year's Eve Zen Practice and New Year's Self-Guided Retreat
Find sanctuary at a traditional Buddhist Temple. Turn off the noise, breathe deeply, and tune in to your inner voice.
This New Year’s self-guided meditation retreat offers a supportive environment to slow down and reconnect with your clear mind. Whether you are new to practice or returning after time away, this is your time to reset, restore, and reconnect with your intentions.
Arrive on New Year's Eve and stay through Sunday, or join us for a day (or two) of yoga, guided hikes, and delicious vegetarian cuisine.
This wellness retreat blends the grounding routine of traditional Zen practice with the freedom of a self-directed schedule. You are free to engage at your own pace: joining the sangha for mindfulness practice, exploring the quiet forest trails, reading, crafting, or settling into deep silence.
Designed for anyone seeking a restorative retreat, this is your opportunity to unplug for a true digital detox. Step away from the noise, breathe deeply, and focus your attention on the present moment.
