Retreats at Still Point

Half-Day Retreats

The first Saturday of every month, held at Still Point Zen Buddhist Temple (4347 Trumbull, Detroit).
Cost $20.00 per day

We take time from our daily lives to deepen our spiritual practice in a monastic environment surrounded by dharma friends. This effort allows us to re-enter the regular rhythms with mindfulness, attention and a renewed connection to joy.

Wear loose-fitting, modest clothes -- something comfortable and appropriate for the season. Note: please try to avoid avoid bright colors and shirts with logos and writing, as these can be distracting to other retreatants.

Formal sitting and walking meditation periods are punctuated with short breaks and followed by a formal lunch, all of it done silently.

For more information or to register please call Still Point Zen Buddhist Temple at 313-831-1005 or e-mail the Guiding Teacher.


Longer Retreats

A wonderful tradition in Asian Zen Buddhism is the retreat. It is a period of time set aside to deepen our spiritual practice in a monastic environment surrounded by dharma friends.

Still Point encourages local Detroiters to attend the retreats and accepts those outside Metro Detroit seeking to deepen their practice. Presently we can accept up to 25 participants per retreat. Registration for the longer retreats begins roughly one month prior to the retreat.
