Enjoy a three- or four-day retreat in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at Upaya Zen Center founded by Roshi Joan Halifax.

This offering entitles one guest to attend any 3 or 4-day Upaya program from the 2015 schedule. Just some of the teachers include Roshi Joan Halifax, calligrapher Kaz Tanahashi, bestselling author Stephen Batchelor, neuroscientist Richie Davidson, writer Natalie Goldberg, peace activist Father John Dear, and Roshi Bernie Glassman.

The center, nestled in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, is a collection of traditional and new adobe buildings, combining Southwestern and Asian styles and featuring kiva fireplaces, rough hewn wood furniture, and captivating views of the surrounding mountains. Stone walkways meander through the native plants carpeting the campus, connecting private places with public meeting rooms, a communal kitchen, the meditation hall, and a labrynth. Guests may explore the trails along the Santa Fe River and the nearby foothills. Meal service features a delicious organic vegetarian menu. The campus is equipped with wireless Internet.

Upaya is a visionary Zen Buddhist center that focuses on the integration of practice and social action, and bringing together wisdom and compassion.
