Five-Day Retreat
"Meditation and the Eight Consciousnesses"
November 4 - 8, 2010
with Sokuzan Bob Brown

http://transformationscenter.org
The retreat will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 4, and conclude mid afternoon on Monday, November 8. Arrive with time to check in and for an optional lunch at noon. There will be a schedule of sitting, dharma talks, personal time, and meals with time allotted for personal interviews with Bob. Cushions and chairs available.
The price for 4 nights and 5 days with meals included is $229.53. Each room has 2 beds and a bath. Depending on the number of registrants, there may be an opportunity for a private room for an additional $40.00. We will make efforts to accommodate special needs diets, but given that it is not realistic to satisfy everyone's request at each meal, you are welcome to bring foods to supplement your meal. There is a small fridge available for our group. There will be vegetarian selections at all meals as well as meat selections.
The price of the retreat covers only the food and lodging cost at Transformations Spirituality Center. Bob and SokukoJi Buddhist Community are graciously donating their time and resources. Gifts (Dana) for the teacher and to support SokukoJi are sincerely appreciated.
Please contact Retreat Coordinator, Karen McClean, at klmclean@charter.net for more information. Deadline to register is Thursday, September 23, 2010.
