Ozarks Dharma Community

Join us for our next silent, structured meditation retreat. It’s an opportunity to settle into a retreat container and explore our meditation practice at a deeper level amidst the sounds of city life. It can be a growing experience for your practice or a tune-up for "retreat-heads".

The retreat is suitable for all levels of practitioners of Buddhism or any spiritual tradition, including secular and non-Buddhist.
