Mondo Zen Retreat
February 3-5, 2011
Come join us for the
weekend of February 3-5, 2012 as we present the next Hollow Bones
gathering at Still Point Zen Center in Random Lake, WI. We'll
meet for a weekend of seated and walking meditation in the Hollow
Bones Rinzai tradition which includes Mondo Zen koan practice and Qi
Gong. If you've never attended a meditation retreat before this is a
wonderful opportunity to experience what happens when you quiet your
mind and gently slip into the stillness. If you're new to Zen practice
or the Hollow Bones tradition of working with emotional Koans, this is
the perfect opportunity to try something different than what you're
used to. If you've participated before, then you know we have a place
for you: take your seat.
Still Point Zen Center is situated on a peaceful, wooded, site in
rural Sheboygan County, between Fredonia and Plymouth (directions:
http://stillpointzen.com/directions.html). The Retreat starts at
5:00 p.m. on Friday, February 3, and ends Sunday, February 5th about 2
PM. Cushions of various types will be provided although you are
welcome to bring your own cushions and other sitting equipment that
are black in color. The meals will be a delightful menu of local,
sustainable, organic vegetarian fare. There will be indoor sleeping
accommodations for up to 16.
The cost is $160 per person, payable to Still Point Zen Center.
Partial offset of costs will be available in exchange for work prior
to or after the retreat. Please reply to this email to make your
