Half Day Silent Retreat
Prayers for World Peace
Jan. 1 | 10am – 12:30pm
Cost: $20, $15 with online preregistration
Start the year off with a peaceful mind. In this half day retreat, we will learn a simple meditation to settle the mind and experience a sense of inner peace. By engaging in special Prayers for World Peace and meditating together, we can create the causes for a pure, harmonious and peaceful world. Although the teacher will guide the meditations, we will practice silence throughout the morning. In this way, we can learn to enjoy and maintain the special experience of peace that we create during the meditation session. This retreat is perfect for all levels of experience.
