Solo retreats....
FMZC is closed December - end of March. Applications for solo retreats in 2025 can be submitted any time. Please contact us if you are interested. We welcome solo practitioners for any length of time and offer two different retreat experiences: For those who wish to undertake a completely solitary retreat, our hermitage provides absolute seclusion. It is situated in an isolated part of the property, perched on a large rock high above a steep-sided valley. |
The accommodation is basic: one-room, with no running water or electricity but with a wood-burning stove for winter heat. Bathrooms and showers can be accessed near the meditation hall.
Our monk's cell offers more comfortable accommodation. It has its own bathroom and shower close to the meditation hall and a small kitchenette with microwave and a small refrigerator.
Retreat guests bring their own food supplies. They can spend their entire retreat in the hermitage/monk's cell or may choose to join the community for evening practice at the meditation hall.
Suggested minimum donation for the hermitage are $60/night, for the monk's cell $75/night.
If you are interested in doing a solo retreat, please contact us for the application file & for further information.
