Our twice-annual Weekend Silent Retreat at the Mariandale Retreat Center in the Hudson Valley of New York is open to the public, both to those currently engaged in Zen practice and those who would like to renew their commitment.
Located on the banks of the Hudson in Ossining, N.Y. the Mariandale Retreat Center is about one hour north of the George Washington Bridge. Sesshins begin Friday evening and end with Sunday lunch
. Sesshin fee is $280 for members of Still Mind Zendo and $300 for non-members. All rooms are singles.
Covid-19 guidelines require advance registration and proof of vaccination and booster shot. Masks are optional. The Center recently installed a new HVAC system, and the zendo and daisan rooms have air purifiers.
Please note that your registration will be confirmed when both proof of your COVID vaccination including BOOSTER (if eligible) and payment is received. Payment may be made through PayPal, check brought or mailed to the zendo.
