Abbot Will

Silent Retreat – Myakka River State Park – Saturday, December 5, 2026, 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.

The park setting, surrounded by nature’s beauty, will help us relax, reflect, and renew. We will start promptly at 9:15 a.m. (arrival time 9:00 a.m.). During the day, there will be several sitting and walking meditations, a Dharma talk, and a vegetarian/vegan potluck lunch. Water and tea will be provided. The retreat will be over by 5:00 p.m.

Our theme for this all-day silent retreat is “Bearing Witness”.
