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. Update (Sep 2): Sadly he was not able to join us this year due to international travel restrictions.
Thanks so much to all who participated in the Silent Retreats this year!
