Welcome to Grateful Glow Weekend Meditation Retreat, hosted by One River Zen. Join us from November 8th to 10th for a serene weekend of reflection and gratitude amidst the tranquil beauty of our temple grounds.

Immerse yourself in a nurturing environment designed to help you cultivate a deep sense of appreciation and inner warmth. Engage in silent meditation sessions, reflective relaxation around the fire, and insightful Dharma talks that guide you in embracing the season’s spirit of thankfulness.

Grateful Glow offers a serene retreat from daily life, providing the perfect setting to reconnect with your inner self and illuminate your practice with a heart full of gratitude. Reserve your spot today and experience the transformative power of meditation in the peaceful setting of One River Zen.

Embark on a journey of inner radiance and self-discovery as you engage in silent meditation sessions, reflective nature walks, and insightful Dharma talks. Find solace in the serene beauty of our surroundings and reconnect with your inner self.

From mats and cushions to cozy accommodations, we've got it covered, allowing you to focus solely on being present and embracing this transformative experience. Let the worries fade away as you indulge in a nurturing retreat. Beginners are perfectly welcome. Just bring yourself!

We practice in community, living dormitory-style in our beautiful meditation center, a Queen Anne Victorian built in 1890, situated on the scenic banks of the Illinois River.

Participants can immerse themselves in nature - taking a walk along the river front or even take a short ride to Starved Rock State Park.

What People Are Saying

“I had the opportunity to participate in One River Zen meditation retreat.  The historic home was very comfortable and all needs were met. Beautiful area overlooking the Illinois river and walking distance to Allen Park. Meditation, discussions and a chance to learn about yourself while connecting to new friends.  
Great experience! “

“My weekend meditation retreat was an experience that I would recommend to everyone that has any level of interest in meditation and the practice of Zen Buddhism.  Sensei Michael and Vanessa provide the perfect experience to escape the haste of life, slow down, and explore your inner self.”
