| Join the core teachers of New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care in the exquisite Mexican Maya Rivera for a week of study and ease. Each day we will examine and experience the six perfections of Generosity, Ethics, Patience, Vigor, Concentration and Wisdom and explore how they affect our self care and care of the world. Clean air, endless vistas, fresh food, warm waters, and good friends, this retreat will be one of restoration, peace, beauty and reflection.
We will begin each day with meditation and talks led by teachers Koshin, Chodo and Jinpu, followed by free time to relax, on the beach, get a massage, go fishing, or visit ancient Mayan ruins. Yoga classes offered each day with a local teacher. We will regroup together for sitting and teachings in the late afternoon.
NYZCCC has reserved the entire Shambala Petit Hotel for the week. The hotel is made up of exquisite individual cabanas nestled together on the white sands. All our breakfasts and lunches will be served on site each day, and Tulum is filled with fun places to eat dinner.
