Silence by the Sea – Meditation Retreat in Waldport, Oregon

A half-day meditation retreat - featuring silent sitting and gentle inquiry.

Sunday, December 13 · 8:00 AM–12:00 PM

Sandpiper Village, Waldport · Suggested donation $25

This fall, a small group of us has been gathering once a month for four hours of silence. Sitting together in this way creates a space that stays with us, a soft cushion of peace that carries into the rest of the day. We warmly recommend the simple practice of gathering in silence together, and you are welcome to join us.

Looking for meditation on the Oregon Coast?
We offer meditation practice, silent retreats, inquiry and community for both local residents and visitors to the Oregon Coast, led by Charlotte Jigen Juul, Zen teacher.

The half-day retreat includes guided meditation, silent sitting, walking meditation, and gentle inquiry and reflection. Depending on the group, it may also include elements of the Big Mind & Big Heart Process. No previous meditation experience is necessary.

We will begin with a brief welcome and meditation instruction before entering silence together. The rest of the morning, including the sitting periods, walking meditation, and break, will unfold in silence, allowing time to settle, listen inwardly, and simply be.
