The topic and related information for the retreat are as follows: - Dates: Saturday, November 14 and/or Sunday, November 15 - Time: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM - Location: Vista Hermosa Retreat House, Prescott, WA - Topic: "Here is the Place, Here the Way Unfolds" Join the Walla Walla Dharma Sangha for silent Zen practice of meditation and mindful activity inspired by teachings from Zen Master Dogen's Genjo Koan ("Actualizing the Fundamental Point"). In the Genjo Koan, Dogen says, "To carry the self forward is delusion, that myriad things come forth and actualize the self is awakening." During a day of Zen meditation, we practice this through moment-to-moment unconditional presence—letting go of the mind's usual worries, problem-solving, and endless drift to become intimate with everything around us. Being with "things as they are" becomes a surprising source of freedom and anchors genuine care for the world. Participants are welcome to attend one or both days if space is available. This retreat is suitable for both beginning and experienced practitioners of any form of Buddhism. Registration Details: - Opens: Thursday, October 22 - How to Register: Email Stacia at sloupeterson@gmail.com. Please indicate whether you prefer to attend Saturday or Sunday. If you would like to attend both days, please note that in your email. Attendance for both days will be made available if space allows. - Cost: $25 per day to cover space and cleaning fees. (Dana/donations for the teacher may be offered separately.) Carpools are being arranged from Walla Walla- contact Janaki at janakihoward@gmail.com if interested in joining the carpool (recommended). To join the carpool from the Tri-Cities, please contact Chris Murray at insightmeditation.midcol@gmail.com.
