“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.”
