We are happy to offer our first three-day residential retreat in the Kansas City area April 11-14, 2024. All are welcome to join in this traditional Zen retreat combining seated meditation, walking meditation, Dharma talks and the opportunity to meet with a teacher. Participation is open to everyone. Special attention and instruction will be given to those attending their first Zen retreat.

Our host is the Marillac Retreat Center on the campus of St. Mary’s University, within a natural landscape of lovely trees, spacious parkland and fields, walkways and fountains. The center is conveniently located 40 minutes from Kansas City and 30 minutes from the Kansas City Airport (MCI).

Overnight accommodations will include spacious single and double rooms, each with a private bath.

Arrange your travel to arrive before the start of retreat at 4 p.m. on Thursday and depart after the conclusion at noon on Sunday. Closer to the event, we will make it possible to arrange rides with other attendees who are driving or flying in.

Reservations are fully refundable with one month's advance notice. After that time, refunds can only be made if the space is taken by someone else. Please delay your registration until you are certain that you can commit.
