SUMMARY:True Heart Women's Retreat 2026
DESCRIPTION:In the book Returning to Silence\, Katagiri Roshi says\, “Whatever kind of question you ask or whatever you think\, finally you have to return to silence.” Katagiri points to a simple truth we often overlook in this exceedingly noisy world of ours: we need to be intentional about carving out space to slow down and catch up with ourselves.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThat is the intention of Hokyoji’s annual True Heart Women’s Retreat\, which I have the privilege of leading this year. The retreat begins with supper on Thursday\, May 14 and ends at noon on Sunday\, May 17. Though not strictly a silent retreat\, it is an invitation to enter into stillness of being and connection with nature\, with yourself\, and with each other. The retreat is lightly structured to include periods of silent and guided meditation as well as personal time\, body work\, and group conversation. And yes\, there will be laughter. \n\n\n\nThe fee includes accommodation in a simple private room and nourishing vegetarian meals. Women of all backgrounds are welcome\, including those with no or very little experience in meditation or Buddhism. \n\n\n\nReturn to the silence of your true heart in the supportive company of other women in the springtime beauty of Minnesota’s Driftless Region. Hokyoji welcomes you with open arms. \n\n\n\nRegistration fees cover lodging and food. Hokyoji compensates teachers through the dana system. If you would like to contribute\, you may do so before\, at\, or after the retreat. If you would like to donate online\, please click here.
