Green River, UT 84525
This silent retreat invites you to embody the teaching of impermanence, stepping away from the busyness of daily life into a supportive container for sustained Buddhist meditation practice. Along the Green River, the flowing water, open canyons, and changing light offer a living reflection of impermanence, helping the body and mind gradually settle.
