Description: Breakthrough to Zen Retreats focus on contemplation and communication within dyads. This creates a uniquely powerful combination and is effective for people in getting a genuine shift into the world of awakening. This retreat is suitable for those with no prior meditation experience and is also effective for those who already have an on-going/developing practice. The structure of the retreat is tailored towards you touching into the deeper dimensions of your true nature.

This retreat is meant for folks who are able to devote themselves solely to the activities of the retreat. The schedule is intentionally full with the days starting early and carrying on into the evening. If you have been suffering from severe mental health difficulties, a less intensive retreat format may be more suitable for you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us, we’d be happy to discuss this and other options with you.
