Three-Day Retreat for People in Recovery

Thursday, August 19 - Saturday, August 21
led by Laura Burges and Jeffrey Schneider

This retreat, beginning on a Thursday afternoon and ending after lunch on Saturday, is ideal both for those new to practice and/or recovery and to those with more experience. It will offer meditation practice, a formal meal in the meditation hall, classes and free time for quiet reflection. We will explore the mutually reinforcing paths of Zen and recovery, with a strong emphasis on sangha, or community.

While you may attend this retreat without staying in the building, we strongly suggest it to those for whom it is possible.

Fees: $150; $135 current members; $120 limited income.
Overnight accommodations: $25 per night, shared room; $50 per night, private room, if available.

To Register: Please call the City Center Office at 415.863.3136.
