Category: Northern Light Zen Center Retreats

Greetings to you all!

On July 13th the Northern Light Zen Center held a one day retreat lead by JDPSN Jose Ramirez.  It was a warm day and got warmer as the day wore on but we sat diligently.  Each of us in turn having an interview with Jose.  It was Wonderful!  There were a total of 10 of us there including JDPSN Jose.  Our noon meal was very delicious and we all enjoyed it mindfully.  Personally I think I may have finally gotten the hang of the four bowl process.  I am a slow learner I guess!

After the retreat was over we all enjoyed ice cream and cookies with tea.  Easily a high point after the warm day.  We enjoyed one another’s company and all too soon it was time to clean up and be on our way.  It was a very successful day and a great retreat.  Good Practice was had by all.

Hi Everyone!  I wanted to put up a belated post about our first retreat here at the New Northern Light Zen Center.  It was held the weekend of March 2nd and 3rd.  The Retreat was led by our guiding teacher Zen Master Soeng Hyang.  I think it was very well attended.  Lots of sitting practice and interviews with ZMSH.  Wonderful!  We had about 15 folks and the space felt great.  And of course the food was excellent.  Please let me know if I have left something or someone important out and I can update this post.  Check out the pictures!
