SUMMER RETREAT WITH GREEN RIVER ZEN CENTER
August 23, 7:30 pm - August 27, noon. Led by Roshi Eve Myonen Marko and Sensei John Genyo Sprague
In an age of unease, a time of fear and disorder, a time of sickness, medicine abounds everywhere. Yunmen, teaching his community, said:
Sickness and medicine are in accord with each other.
The whole world is medicine.
Who are you?
This retreat will be mostly silent with sitting and walking meditation, a dharma talk, morning liturgy, private study, formal meals, walks or yoga and work practice. It’s a time for inquiry, for opening up the space and bearing witness to the ground that we call life as it is.
