About this retreat: This retreat at Hokyoji, in the bluff country of southeastern Minnesota, is an opportunity to practice surrounded by nature, far from the distractions of city life. We alternate sitting and walking meditation throughout the day, along with daily dharma talks, one-to-one meetings with the teachers, vegetarian meals, a work period, and outdoor group meditation walks. Bring camping gear or sleep in dorm-like accommodations. You will receive an email with detailed information several days prior to the retreat.
Cost for 5 nights (Tuesday through Sunday): $600
Cost for 2 nights (Friday and Saturday): $250
Please note: MZMC's donation-only programming does not apply to this event, as MZMC partners with Hokyoji for this retreat.
