Upcoming Retreats:

An Anusara Yoga and Meditation Retreat
Summer Retreat August 22-26, 2024
With Rudrani and Jacalyn

Dai Bosatsu Zendo

THE SUMMER RETREAT
With much excitement, Rudrani and Jacalyn invite you to join us for another wonderful summer retreat at Dai Bosatsu Zendo, a pristine mountain sanctuary in the Catskill Mountains.
The Zendo has hosted our deep and fulfilling retreats for seventeen seasons. As the WYC community gathers to practice Anusara yoga, meditation and inner reflection, we will be surrounded by the magnificent, unspoiled beauty of nature.
Our retreat group will stay at the Zendo and in the newly renovated guest house that sits overlooking the sparkling spring-fed Beecher Lake. The guest house has a new, spacious sun-deck and refurbished rooms that are both comfortable and homey!

THE ZENDO
The Zendo located 2.5 hours from NYC, is a traditionally built Zen monastery with residential monks in full time practice.
We return to this sacred sanctuary knowing the profound depths of practices we have experienced here in past retreats. The Zendo’s sacred grounds reveal an awe inspiring splendor of this unique refuge.

THE THEME
The theme of the retreat, Returning Home to the Heart of the Great Self  is a seed to plant inside. In the inward turning  we co-create together, we will naturally inquire inside making space to contemplate un-discovered layers of our being.
