WELCOME:


We are preparing for our wonderful summer retreat with much excitement!! We are overjoyed at the overwhelming response to the announcement of our return to our beloved Zendo for our annual Summer retreat. From 2004-2017 our community gathered every Summer to practice Anusara yoga, meditation and inner reflection in this beautiful sanctuary.


Our retreat group will be staying in the guest house on Beecher Lake and in the Zendo nearby….a  place of bright and enlightening energy. Our accommodations at the guest house, already comfortable and homey, have now been newly renovated. Photos of some of the changes have been included in this email.


 

THE ZENDO:


The Zendo is a traditional monastery with residential monks in practice. We will be unfolding our retreat with their silent practice in the background. Zendo grounds are located in a 400 acre nature preserve in the Catskill mountains making this place a wildlife refuge of extraordinary purity. The Zendo's guest house has been our sanctuary for seventeen seasons of deep and fulfilling retreats. We return there with great celebration knowing the depths of practice we have enjoyed there as well as the extraordinary splendor of nature surrounding this unique place. 




THE THEME:


The theme of the retreat will be Returning Home to the Heart of the Great Self. The theme is a seed to plant inside. In the inward turning, we will co-create the retreat as we contemplate the deeper layers of our being through the lens of our practices and inner experiences.
