By Tracy Simmons favs.news On April 14 Daya Goldschlag will host a Zen meditation retreat called, “Getting Out of the Way So You Can Be Here.” The retreat will be from 2 to 5 p.m.. Those wanting a brief introduction on meditation form are asked to arrive at 1:30 p.m. Goldschlag said internal chatter easily gets in the way of “just being yourself.” “A meditation practice can bring us back to our home-breath and a clear base so we can be more fully present,” she wrote. The retreatwill include an afternoon of sitting and walking meditation, a short dharma talk and time for questions. Cost is $25. The retreat will be at 1604 W. Riverside Ave. To register call (509) 328-6215 or email [email protected]. Daya Goldschlag is a SpokaneFAVS contributor.
