Spaces are limited – we encourage you to register as soon as possible.
This retreat is suitable for beginners. Those who are doing their first retreat will need to have a phone interview before registration is confirmed. Instruction in Zen meditation will be offered Friday evening for those new to MRO Zen practice.
