SAVE THE DATE: Annual Retreat for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (June 2025)

Garrison Institute 14 Mary's Way, Route 9D, Garrison, New York, United States

In a time of increasing disruption and loss of cohesion, it is more important than ever before to have a place of refuge that is stable, especially for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) communities. In this retreat, mindfulness will be at the heart of all we do. In addition to daily dharma teachings, we will practice daily mindful walking, or moving, sitting (or stationary) meditation, mindful eating, singing, dharma writing, and dharma sharing.
