Young Adult Residential Retreat – Waitlist Only
Young Adult Residential Retreat (Waitlist Only)
Walking the Boundless Way
May 1–3, 2026
We are delighted to announce a special retreat opportunity for young adults at Boundless Way Zen Temple. In partnership with the Dharma Gates organization, we will be hosting a residential retreat for practitioners ages 18-35 at the Temple, located at 1030 Pleasant St., Worcester, Mass.
Your teachers: Melissa Myōzen Blacker, Rōshi, and Dharma Holder Michael Sōkei Herzog
About the Retreat:
During this silent retreat, participants will practice within the Boundless Way Zen Temple tradition, moving fluidly between silence and dialogue, stillness and movement, to awaken to the possibility of being fully human. Together, we will meet our lives with compassion and wisdom, cultivating a basic friendliness toward ourselves and others, and discovering a place to rest even in the midst of this world on fire.
Group practice periods will consist of:
- Sitting meditation
- Walking meditation
- Movement practices
- Chanting
- Individual meetings with a teacher
During this retreat we will be practicing in Noble Silence. When the whole group enters into Noble Silence we offer each other and ourselves the gift of being with our experience as it is.
We hope this retreat will be a valuable opportunity for young adult practitioners to deepen their practice and connect with our sangha.
