Meditation Day Retreat for Newer Meditators | June 11, 10-4

This day retreat offers a great opportunity for newer meditators to explore deepening their meditation practice and to experience what it is like to be on retreat. Anyone who has taken one of our introductory courses, or who has been a regular attendee of our Friends' Evening would benefit from this program.
