A day of a silent retreat offers a rare opportunity to step out of the constant movement of daily life and rediscover the quiet clarity that is always available beneath it. With the theme Stillness in Daily Life, this retreat invites you to explore how inner calm is not something separate from ordinary living, but something that can gently infuse every moment.

Sangha Day is a time to have fun and celebrate that diversity. All members, their families and friends, and the public at large are invited to enjoy food, music and other fun activities at Ekoji.

A retreat is a wonderful way to unplug from the busyness of daily life and find restfulness and ease. This retreat will be held partly, or mostly, outdoors, weather permitting. This is a wonderful chance to try a silent meditation retreat while surrounded by the beauty of the Virginia forest. We follow the ancient tradition of using nature to support our spiritual journey. Nature has a many teachings for us, and we will explore some of those throughout the weekend.
