An Anusara Yoga and Meditation Retreat
With much excitement, Rudrani and Jacalyn invite you to join us for another wonderful summer retreat at Dai Bosatsu Zendo, a pristine mountain sanctuary in the Catskill Mountains.
The Zendo has hosted our deep and fulfilling retreats for seventeen seasons. As the WYC community gathers to practice Anusara yoga, meditation and inner reflection, we will be surrounded by the magnificent, unspoiled beauty of nature.

Additional Details:
The Zendo
The Zendo, located 2.5 hours from NYC, is a traditionally built Zen monastery with residential monks in full time practice.
We return to this sacred sanctuary knowing the profound depths of practices we have experienced here in past retreats. The Zendo’s sacred grounds reveal an awe inspiring splendor of this unique refuge.
The Theme
The theme of the retreat, The Nature of Transformation is a seed to plant inside. In the inward turning we co-create together, we will naturally inquire inside making space to contemplate un-discovered layers of our being.
