Please join us for our monthly mindfulness meditation support group meeting at the Tri-Cities Cancer Center, 7350 West Deschutes Avenue, Kennewick. The sessions, which will be held on the third Thursday of each month, are meant for cancer patients, cancer survivors, and their caregivers. The session will begin at 12:00 pm at the Cancer Center in the Wellness Center. If you have a serious illness other than cancer, or are a caregiver for someone who is, you're welcome to attend the sessions. Each session includes a brief review of mindfulness meditation and the role it can play in reducing the anxiety arising from diagnosis and treatment, an opportunity to ask questions, and the chance to practice meditation with others.

Genjo Marinello Roshi, abbot of Choboji Zen Center in Seattle, will lead a full day meditation retreat at Vista Hermosa (Prescott, WA) from 9:00 am-4:00 pm.

The Heart Sutra, an essential Zen teaching, will be explored. The title of the retreat is: "What do all those “NOs” mean? How is it that there is no eye, ear, nose, no thought, no hearing , no consciousness, no suffering no craving, no path and no wisdom? And what does this have to do with an open caring heart-mind?"

Cost of the retreat is $ 25 plus donation to the teacher. Scholarships are available.

The day-long retreat includes traditional Zen practices, silent sitting meditation called zazen, mindful walking, eating and resting alongside a dharma talk and personal Q & A with the teacher. This retreat is suitable for beginning and more experienced meditators.
