Retreats

“In order to awaken the heart of compassion we must observe the place where we disconnect from our ability to be kind, so we can see clearly the difference between our ideals and the reality of  wrestling daily with anger, blame, and judgment of self and others…”  Diane Moore

The Santa Rosa Zen Group holds several retreats throughout the year. Most programs include:

• Guided Meditation

• Sitting and Walking Meditation

• Dharma Talk by Diane Moore 

• Movement Awareness Exercises
