Shin Jo Sui (Mind Like Water) Retreat
Saratoga Springs Retreat Center, Upper Lake, CA

This retreat, Mind Like Water promises to be very special. It will be an opportunity to slow the relentless pace at which our minds usually move through life and death and appreciate our true existence, our selves and each other in a beautiful setting in Northern California. The mind of water is buoyant and free. It's potential is unlimited. Please join us in practicing the freedom of the deep water of the way.
