Siouxland Zen Retreat
Siouxland Zen Five-Day Silent Retreat
August 17 - 22, 2025
Join us for a five-day Zen retreat at the beautiful, wooded Creighton University Retreat Center in Griswold, Iowa. We will engage in an integrated Rinzai Zen practice of healing and awakening.
This will be our 16th year at CURC! We appreciate the quality facilities, the committed staff, the immersion in nature, and the delicious vegetarian, organic cuisine. We are fortunate to have such an excellent retreat venue.
This retreat will include Zen meditation practices of sitting (zazen), walking (kinhin), and embodied movement (qigong).
The retreat will run from 4 pm Sunday, August 17 to 10 am Friday, August 22.
The total cost of the retreat is $500 per person, which includes room and board. A minimum $250 deposit is due when registering to reserve your place. The remaining $250 balance is due August 1.
The nearest airport is Eppley in Omaha, NE (OMA). Please arrange to arrive the morning of the first day. We provide a rideshare coordinator. Further information will be sent after we receive your deposit.
