The Wind Has No Footsteps: An Elders Retreat

A Zen-Inspired Elders Retreat of Meditation, Reflection & Intimacy with the Unknown

May 8, 2025

In a world that rushes toward answers, we gather to rest in the quiet power of not knowing

This elders circle is a space of deep presence — where aging is not a decline, but a ripening of wisdom, humility, and compassion.

Through meditation, poetic koan practice, gentle embodiment exploration, and heartfelt small-group reflection, we explore the sacred terrain of elderhood as a spiritual path. 

Together, we will inquire into the mystery:

What is it to live fully in the presence of what we cannot grasp?

This is not a class in knowing more — it is a practice of becoming more intimate with life as it is. 

Open to elders, wisdom seekers, and those drawn to reflection, and the beauty of the unknown.

Location: Scotts Valley, Ca

Fee: $50 (no one turned away for lack of funds)
