And there will be free time in the afternoon to renew and refresh.We will explore with gentle curiosity who are the True Hearts in our lives. How do we embody our True Heart? And co-create a space to hold people and natural things that express to us individually and collectively the true hearts in our lives.We welcome everyone into this retreat. It will be led by two of Hokyoji’s Associate Teachers. \n\n\n\nRev.
