Experience a morning of calm and renewal at our Silent Simplicity Retreat – Autumn on Sunday, October 11, 2026, from 9 to 11:30 a.m. at the beautiful Mansfield Freeman Center for East Asian Studies in Middletown, CT. This 2.5-hour retreat offers a peaceful escape into mindfulness, introspection, and gentle contemplation amidst the seasonal beauty of the Shoyoan Tien Zen Garden. Pre-registration is required, and enrollment closes October 9th.
Guided by meditation teacher (Rev.) G.R.Lewis, M.A., participants of all backgrounds—from first-time practitioners to seasoned mindfulness students—will practice basic sitting meditation, walking meditation, and noble silence. This retreat focuses purely on human mindfulness practice, independent of any religious tradition, making it accessible for everyone seeking clarity, calm, and a deeper connection to the present moment.
Whether you are looking to reduce stress, enhance focus, or simply spend a tranquil morning in mindful reflection, this retreat offers a rejuvenating experience for mind, body, and spirit.
Space is limited, so reserve your spot early and join us in a supportive environment for quiet contemplation and renewal.
