We invite you to join Zen Buddhist and certified meditation teacher Billy Wynne for a half-day Zen meditation retreat, known as Zazenkai. Literally translated as “to come together for meditation,” Zazenkai offers a rare opportunity for deep immersion in silence and stillness that can be illuminating, rejuvenating, and transformative. While all are welcome, participants should have prior meditation experience and the ability to sit relatively still and maintain noble silence for extended periods of time. Anyone who is interested in participating but unsure if you are prepared is heartily invited to contact the facilitator to discuss: Billy Wynne - billy@billywynne.com. Registration required.
Weekly on Tuesdays, beginning November 4th | 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM | True Nature Meditation Room

This experiential workshop invites participants to uncover the powerful influence of cultural illusions on both our individual lives and collective worldview. Through inquiry and shared reflection, we’ll begin to see how deeply conditioned patterns shape our understanding of what’s possible.
Participants will leave with a fresh and empowering perspective—one that challenges the invisible assumptions we've been taught to accept as truth.
We often hear the phrase “think outside the box”—but few ever name what the box is, where its edges lie, or how to step beyond it. This workshop helps illuminate those walls. And with that clarity, the view—and our sense of possibility—radically shifts.

Sound Journeys are more than a spiritual experience—they are scientifically proven to support well-being. Vibrational frequencies from instruments like gongs and chimes stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress hormones like cortisol and promoting deep relaxation. Join us for a monthly exploration of sound and healing in the sacred Kiva. This journey offers a unique opportunity to experience the power of sound to calm, balance, and energize the spirit.
