Last weekend we had a retreat at NLZC! It was very well attended and one of our best retreats yet! Sitting was good and food was excellent. Interviews with Terry Cronin JDPSN were challenging… dare I say enlightening? The weather was beautiful and it was a magnificent day! Our next retreat is in August! Check out the schedule and think about joining us that day!

November 21st was a bright and clear day. Perfect for a one day retreat at NLZC! At one point we had about 10 people there to practice, it was very strong. Some folks had to leave at noon but that’s okay. We were glad for all that were there and their strong practice. Our meal was tasty and interviews were challenging. It was a good day. Stay tuned folks for our next retreat!

Look at it this way, practice and a little serenity may help with the crazy uncle at Thanksgiving the next week!
Yes I know this is a late post regarding the retreat. But I wanted to post the pictures I had. I thought they were pretty good, candids and all. It was a great retreat! The weather was good and the company and practice was excellent. Y’all should consider going if you haven’t done so yet.

Hi All!
If chanting turns you on, I mean if it makes you all aquiver inside and you walk away from it feeling energized and peaceful, or heck, maybe you just like to chant, then this day is for you!
If you are aware Kido is a form of practice where we chant continuously for a prescribed period of time. I believe our Kido runs from 9 to noon. Please email northernlightzencenter@gmail.com for more info. If chanting is your thing. This is the event for you!
Peace.
