November is a good a month for a meditation retreat at Great Vow Zen Monastery in Oregon. Several zendo friends have gone in recent years and Rita and Peter are again organizing ride-cost-sharing for the 4-hour drive (plus 90-min ferry ride).
We plan to depart Victoria’s inner harbour aboard M.V. Coho early on Monday, November 10, and return by 4 pm the following Sunday. In line with the retreat theme of Practicing Gratitude, the monastery is offering the entire event free of charge. Donations of money and food items will be gratefully accepted.
Please let us know if you’d like to come along. For retreat details and to register, go to the monastery website.
