Saturday, October 24, 10:00am – 3:00pm, via Zoom or In-Person

This retreat, offered during Saka Dawa month when we commemorate the birth, enlightenment and parinirvana of Buddha Shakyamuni, is a wonderful opportunity to receive input from Geshela and to share group practice. Cost: $40, $50 or $60 which includes a simple lunch. Registration Required.
