Hermitage Retreat: October 17-20

 Beginners welcome.  Participants stay full time at the hermitage, and sleep on futons, with limited private bedrooms.  Organic, vegan meals are prepared together with a daily schedule of meditation, meals, light work & meetings with the Abbot or Vice Abbot around zen practice.  The hermitage sits on 8 acres at the base of the Porcupine Mountains, with 300' of Lake Superior shoreline.  Join us for a  weekend of meditation, community life-, and formal zen practice.  There will be time for a wood fired sauna, to walk the property, and enjoy the Big Lake and stars!  Retreats are device free, and all follow a daily schedule of meditation, meals, ample rest, simple tasks, and personal instruction with the teacher.  Interview required for anyone who has never done a retreat here before (please contact us).
