Step away from the noise of daily life and into the sacred silence of Mercy Center Auburn. This five-day intensive retreat centers on zazen — silent meditation practiced in your own inner space and alongside others walking the same path. In that stillness, many find they can hear a voice within that connects them to something larger than themselves.

The retreat is led by Nona Strong, who has practiced in this contemplative tradition since 1993 and received teaching transmission in the Empty Cloud lineage in 2019.

Registration Deadline is August 9, 2026
