Welcome Home! A Weekend In-Person Retreat At Great Vow & Online

June 4 - 6, 2021

June Homecoming Retreat will be Great Vow Zen Monastery’s first in-person meditation retreat since March 2020. We will also be offering this retreat online.
After a year of quarantine, how much time did we each really spend at home. This year, many of us have done some deep house cleaning and remodeling but did we also remember to attend to the neglected corners of our bodies, hearts, and minds? Our entire self deserves our full attention and so does everyone and everything we encounter. Wherever we are, our true home is always found here – if we have the courage to look for it. Take time aside for this weekend retreat and cultivate a mind of Welcome, a mind of Presence. Come home to yourself, to your Sangha, and to your monastery!
In person attendance is now full! Contact registrar@greatvow.org if you would like to be informed if more slots open up.
