A September 7 choice for a 1/2 day or full day silent retreat







For this half or day long retreat, if you are not a Chan (Chinese Zen) practitioner, you may bring your own silent meditation/ contemplation practice. If you do not presently have a practice, or are interested in Chan meditation practice, please contact Adrian a couple of days before the retreat.

You will need to bring your own cushion if you are a floor sitter. There are chairs. Please contact me RSVP as there is limited seating available in the Salish Bldg.

If you only plan to do a half day, the morning would be preferable though not absolutely necessary. If you do come in the morning, bring a veggie lunch for yourself and enough to share with another person. 

Silence is a rare treat these days. Come and bring a friend. 

Contact Adrian Symonds: 250-650-9055 or adrian2@shaw.ca
