Join Jonathan Prescott, Michael Melancon, and Karla Johnston from Wise Caregiving in partnership with Anacortes Mindfulness Community for our 2025 Fall Retreat.
You may find yourself wondering: What do I do now? While we may feel we're the first to be baffled by life's uncertainties, Zen practitioners have grappled with this fundamental question for millennia.
Join us as we explore the Koan: What do I do now? Our every action answers this question constantly, but are we answering it consciously? We'll look deeply into the source of Skillful Action so that we return home with a renewed ability to meet these challenging times.
All who would value a retreat in the Plum Village Zen tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh are invited and welcome to join us in this 5-night (6-day) silent retreat at the beautiful Samish Island Campground and Retreat Center. This retreat is hosted by the Anacortes Mindfulness Community, Anacortes, Washington.
The retreat will be led by Jonathan Prescott, Michael Melancon, and Karla Johnston, collectively bringing nearly 100 years of spiritual practice experience.
