Tired of the rat race? Great Vow Zen Monastery is a one-of-a-kind meditation retreat center and monastery about an hour North of Portland. The meditation practice is a synthesis of Soto and Rinzai Zen traditions led by Zen Teachers Chozen and Hogen Bays. Anyone can visit - just check their website for events and program times. I've been attending retreats here for over 5 years and it's truly changed my life.
