Who am I? Why am I here?
Where do I go? How do I find freedom, peace and joy?

In February
Weekend retreat
February 24-26, 2023
At Grailville Oratory in Loveland, Ohio
Our community will come together again this February at Grailville for a weekend of meditation. The retreat starts on Friday at 6pm and ends on Sunday at 10am. We will practice seated and walking meditation throughout the weekend. There will also be a talk and opportunity for dokusan (one-on-one meeting) with Olaf. It will be a blend of silence and community connection. Newcomers to meditation and longtime meditators are welcome.
The participation fee is $160 and includes vegetarian lunch and dinner on Saturday. Registrants can commute from home, sleep over in the Oratory, or book a local Airbnb. To register or learn more about lodging, send an email to lovelandzen@gmail.com.
