Women Living Zen: A day-retreat for women

  • Blue Mountain Zendo 29582 Berg Ave. Mission, BC Canada (map)

Please Note: This retreat is now full. Please see below to be added to the waitlist.

From time immemorial, women have gathered in circles of sharing: in churches and temples, kitchens and courtyards, fields and forests. In this day retreat we will express our Zen practice through: silent meditation, outdoor walking, chant and song, ceremony, movement, writing, art-making, speaking and listening from the heart, and sharing a vegetarian meal together.

In-person attendance only, with ongoing Covid precautions in place. Masking indoors, except when eating. We will be outdoors as much as the weather permits.

Our theme this year will be healing and restoring body, mind and heart after two years of pandemic conditions.

All those who identify as women are welcome.

The retreat will be led by Myoshin Kate McCandless, co-guiding teacher of Mountain Rain Zen Community.

Retreat fees are on a sliding scale, with the upper end supporting our capacity to offer reduced fees for those with limited income.

Dana (donations) to the teacher may be offered by cash/cheque at the retreat or by e-transfer.
