Still Breathing Meditation Center
THIS RETREAT IS NOW FULL.
This retreat will take place in our beautiful new zendo in East Oakland. It is for those who have had at least one practice discussion with me, have sat with me at other centers in the Bay Area, or would like to begin participation in the Still Breathing Meditation Community. We practice in the Soto Zen tradition. We will sit, walk, and eat together, creating a day of peace and stillness. Let the chaos of the world drop away and return to home with renewed sense of your life.
Space is limited to 15
Practice discussions with Rev. Zenju Earthlyn Manuel will be available throughout the day. Below is the tentative schedule.
Please have your breakfast and daily hot beverage before entering. Soup and salad will be provided for lunch, plus an afternoon tea and treat break. Wear comfortable clothes with layers.
