Thank you for signing up for the retreat in nature. I am very much looking forward to sharing the retreat experience with you!
|
Myakka River State Park is located nine miles east of Interstate 75.
13208 State Road 72
Sarasota FL 34241
|
Entry fee: $6 per vehicle
|
Once through the gate, look for the Log Pavilion on the right about a mile in or less, there will be signs for the retreat and parking is on the left side of the road across from the Pavilion...
|
Please plan to arrive early (around 9:00 a.m.) to get settled. The retreat will begin promptly at 9:30 a.m. with an introductory talk. We are honored that our special guest, Zen Master Chong An Sunim will be joining us. (Please note, he will also be at our Sunday morning practice session. All retreat participants are invited to join us at our Zendo Sunday morning for this special session and Dharma Talk.) Throughout the day, there will be several sitting and walking meditations, and a vegetarian/vegan potluck lunch. The retreat will be held in silence until the end of the day when we will have our closing Dharma talk and discussion. No phones or talking in the Log Pavilion and the attached picnic areas. Please feel free to talk to me privately away from the main area, should you have any questions or concerns.

The retreat will end by 4:30 p.m. We will need to be finished and packed up by sundown, around 5:30 p.m.
