The Essence of Practice: A Community Weekend Retreat


  • Seven Oaks Retreat Center Madison, Virginia (map)

Sept. 25 - 27, 2026
Seven Oaks Retreat Center
Madison, Va.
$350-$530

 

This retreat is designed for community-building and includes both formal and informal/relational practices grounded in Buddhist teachings.

We'll spend the weekend together practicing meditation, listening to short teacher-led talks, engaging in small and large group sharing, and enjoying unstructured time in the beauty of Seven Oaks. While this retreat is not held in noble silence, there will be opportunities for silent practice throughout the weekend. Lean into the refuge of community, where we share support and encouragement with each other along the path.
