(Re)Boot Summer Camp

Many of us find ourselves swept up in current events, doom scrolling, and shitposting…alternating between FOMO and existential dread. We are often anxious or bored and sometimes both at the same time. And while some events are legitimately anxiety provoking, others are symptoms of the many ways that the modern world has hijacked our biological systems. If our computer acted this way, we’d reboot it!

It’s time to reboot ourselves.

Come spend some time with us this summer in the beauty of the Driftless region making new friends, reconnecting with Nature, and finding ourselves but most importantly just having fun. There will be plenty to do*:

• meditation
• hiking & forest bathing
• bird watching
• stargazing
• movie night
• arts & crafts
  
  and not do.

So put your phone away for a few days and join us at Hokyoji for (Re)Boot Summer Camp.

* This is a “rain or shine” retreat. In the case of inclement weather, alternative activities will be scheduled. Full refunds will be given up to one week before the start of the event.

• This retreat is suitable for those who have not meditated before.
• This retreat is for adults 18 and over (if you’d be interested in a kids summer camp, send us a message!).
• Specific activities are “weather permitting”. We’ll have a back up plan!
• We are committed to the access to our retreats regardless of economic circumstances. If you need a scholarship to attend, please contact us. If you would like to make the retreat accessible to others, please consider a donation at checkout with the comment “Scholarship”.
• At Hokyoji we compensate our teachers and retreat leaders by the dana system. “Dana” is Sanskrit for “pass the hat”. If you would like to donate online, you can do so here before, during, or after the retreat. You can also donate at the retreat via cash, check, or Venmo.

(Re)Boot Summer Camp will be led by Rev. Jushin Stephyn Butcher, Associate Teacher, assisted by Staff Members Junden Gage Myers and Noah Terpening. You can find out more about them here.
