Listening to Nature: A Nature Dharma Retreat with Kirsten Rudestam and Tanya Wiser

We are delighted to return to the precious land at the Rain on Snow Retreat Center for this silent, nature-based Vipassana meditation retreat. This retreat offers a precious opportunity to slow down, attune to the rhythms of the natural world, and explore practices of deep listening—to both our inner nature and the world around us.

We will be camping along the Wind River in the Columbia River Gorge, a beautiful setting to cultivate a deeper connection with the natural world and bring the elements alive in our awareness and direct experience. Practice periods will include silent and guided sitting, walking meditation, and Dharma talks. This is a dana (donation) retreat. Our retreat is offered freely as a gift to those who attend—there is no cost.

All people of all identities are welcome here. No previous camping or retreat experience is required.
