A Boundless Heart Sangha Non-Residential Retreat

Rooted and Responsive: Contemplative Practice and Social Action

With Joshin Byrnes and Jissan Nicolle

A retreat in the Zen Peacemaker tradition hosted by the Boundless Heart Sangha featuring teacher, Sensei Joshin Byrnes, from the Bread Loaf Mountain Zen Community in Vermont.

Additional details and signup form will be available in Fall 2025

In a world shaped by urgency, division, and change, how do we stay rooted in presence and care while responding to the suffering around us? This two-day retreat explores the dynamic relationship between inner stillness and compassionate action. Through periods of silent and guided meditation, shared reflection, and embodied practice, we will ground ourselves in contemplative awareness and examine how it informs—and is informed by—our engagement with the world.

Drawing on Zen Buddhist teachings, real-world stories, and our own lives, we’ll ask: How can care, courage, and clarity arise from silence? And what forms of healing action arise when we listen deeply, stay close to suffering, and trust our interconnection?

Open to people of all religions and faiths or none, as well as social action practitioners, caregivers, and anyone seeking a path of responding rooted in stillness, this retreat invites you to show up in wholeness for the world as it is.
