Deepening The Way

This September, join Henry Shukman at Menla Retreat Center, nestled in the Catskill Mountains, where autumn’s turning provides the perfect backdrop to settle into and deepen our practice.

The retreat includes daily meditations, dharma teachings from Henry, and extended Q&A sessions, while immersing yourself in a committed community of meditators.

Our schedule offers as much support as you need, with movement and breakout groups available throughout, as well as solo time to wander the land, rest and restore.

Whether this is your first residential retreat or you’re a seasoned practitioner, this retreat offers an experience where you can deepen your practice.
