Event Details

Registration is open for the Fall 2024 Retreat with Stillpoint. Attendees will arrive the evening of November 7th and the retreat will end mid-afternoon on November 10th. We are once again staying at the Villa Maria Education and Spirituality Center, located approximately one hour north of Pittsburgh.

Many options were considered after the retirement of Roshi Shohaku Okumura, who had taught at these retreats for the past few decades. Stillpoint decided to make the retreat community driven rather than bring in an out-of-town teacher. This allows them to keep the retreat affordable and keeps the retreat open to Zen practitioners of all disciplines and schools.

A proper schedule will follow, but the basic structure is that of a formal Sesshin, where we sit, eat, and contemplate in silence through the duration of the event. There will be two talks each day on Friday and Saturday, each lead by one of our four rotating practice leaders:

Prices for attendees this year are:

  • Commuter (No room, all meals still provided) – $195
  • Double Room, per person – $275
  • Single Room – $350
