August Wilderness Backpacking Sesshin: A Weeklong Meditation Retreat

August 29 - September 5, 2021

August 29, 2021 - 3:00 pm to September 5, 2021 - 12:00 pm

This retreat will be held in the Mountains, Pacific Northwest Wilderness, USA. Previous meditation retreat and backpacking experience is highly recommended.

Immerse yourself in the silent wisdom of the forest, mountains, and sky. Allow these wild places to awaken within you and inform how you understand, experience, and embody this life. This retreat is an invitation to dive deep into present moment reality, supported and challenged by the natural landscape, weather, and sesshin schedule.

This is an intensive meditation retreat. We will hike into the mountains, set up a base camp and follow a structured, silent daily schedule. Each day will consist of about seven hours of seated meditation, chanting, meditative movement, and hiking. Individual or group check-in’s will be offered. One night hike and some solo meditation may also be incorporated.

Each person will be expected to carry their own gear, plus additional communal items. A required packing list will be provided and all food is included.

Space is limited, please contact Soten Lynch, at soten@zendust.org, to RSVP or to ask any questions.

Suggested donation $250-350; no one turned away for lack of funds.
