This retreat is full. Registration will open soon for our June 11-14 retreat at St. Raphaela Center near Philadelphia.

This spring you are invited to experience a weekend of spiritual renewal.

We gather at Marillac Center March 19-22 as spring is budding on the campus of St. Mary's University in Leavenworth, KS.  Here, the Sisters of Charity provide generous hospitality for a three-day Zen retreat which includes seated and walking meditation along with chanting, dharma talks and the opportunity to meet privately with Maezen Roshi.

As with all our retreats, participation is open to everyone. Experienced Zen sitters will find the form and ritual they recognize. Beginners will receive kind and compassionate guidance.

The center is located approximately 34 miles from downtown Kansas City and 30 miles from the Kansas City Airport.

Both single- and double-occupancy rooms are available. All overnight rooms have private baths. Double rooms are reserved for two-person parties; your registration fee will reflect the cost for both attendees. If your preferred room is sold out, please contact us to be placed on the waiting list. We will likely be able to secure additional rooms.

Our schedule will provide extra instruction and attention for newcomers. There will be ample time for rest and solitude. If you have questions about whether this retreat is appropriate for you, please contact Maezen.
