SUMMER 2-DAY ZEN MEDITATION RETREAT
Growing Up in a New World

July 3–4, 2025 | Bare Bones | Hybrid | Nonresidential

In times of rapid change and disruption, it’s important to ground ourselves in spiritual practices that allow us to have a larger view of our world. To be resilient in the face of such challenges, our Zen tradition offers significant meditation retreats. This two-day retreat will be held in a bare bones style (no services, no dharma talks). Join us for this opportunity to deepen your spiritual path and activate more creative possibilities in your life.

This retreat will be lead by our two Zen Teachers who have decades of experience working and leading others in this deep transformational practice.

I found this virtual retreat to be very supportive of my practice. What a wonderful Sangha we have at the ZLMC! Experiencing the retreat in my own home stretched me to see more closely how my spiritual practice ties into my daily life. I’m glad I took the time to participate and I will be attending again.
