Silent meditation retreats
September 17-19 and September 19-24, 2021
At Cliffview Resort in Red River Gorge, Kentucky
Who am I? Why am I here? What is the point of it all? Where do I go? How do I find freedom, peace and joy?
Find time to be with yourself and your own life questions at a silent meditation retreat with the guidance of Zen masters Ama Samy and Olaf Muyōju.
Ama Samy has been visiting Cincinnati since 1991 to offer annual Zen retreats. We had to cancel the retreats in September 2020 due to the pandemic, but Ama Samy agreed to return in 2021.
This will be his last visit.
