I found this virtual retreat to be very supportive of my practice. What a wonderful Sangha we have at the ZLMC! Experiencing the retreat in my own home stretched me to see more closely how my spiritual practice ties into my daily life. I’m glad I took the time to participate and I will be attending again.
