Dearest Friends,

The NorthWest region is proud to announce our first NorthWest Regional Retreat and you're all invited!

The retreat will be held from July 3rd-July 6th, 2008 and will take place on a beautiful 3 acre property near Seattle. The property is quite remote, so the feeling of a retreat in nature is truly there! We will have three traveling teachers to give practice, explanations and lectures: Gretchen Newmark, John Masciocchi and Daria Novoselova.

We would like you to inform us in advance if you are coming, so that we can plan food and accommodations accordingly. Please write to Daria@diamondway.org to register and for driving directions. The retreat will be free of charge and only food expenses will need to be covered.

Please bring with you your sleeping bag/mat, meditation pillow and other personal necessities.
